The Coaches of Color Initiative (COCI) is the flagship initiative of the 80/20 Endurance Foundation. Its mission is to provide meaningful support and opportunities for people of color aspiring to successful careers as endurance coaches.

80/20 Endurance Foundation

**About About the Coaches of Color and the 80/20 Endurance Foundation** 

[80/20 Endurance LLC](https://www.8020endurance.com/) is the world’s largest dedicated provider of training plans and solutions for runners and triathletes. The company's training methods are built on the optimal intensity balance and other empirical principles outlined in the co-founders' best-selling books 80/20 Running and 80/20 Triathlon. 

At the 80/20 Endurance Foundation, we believe that greater diversity enriches the athletic experience for everyone, and that's why we created the Coaches of Color Initiative. 

The heart of COCI is a one-year mentorship program. Successful applicants receive a monthly stipend and free certification as an 80/20 Endurance coach, as well as the chance to gain valuable coaching experience by working directly with athletes, creating online training content, and more. 

One percent of the purchase price of all 80/20 Endurance products and services funds the 80/20 Endurance Foundation.

Throughout TSP DIY, teams and solo runners will race and raise money and awareness to support the work of four TSP Fund partner organizations, each working at the intersection of running and racial justice: Run Hope Work, The Running Charity, TrackGirlz, and Wings of America.

**We need more diversity in running.** Join us in putting our Boston Marathon training miles to work to foster diversity in the sport we love! “In a recent national survey, **less than 15 percent** of endurance coaches identified as nonwhite. At the 80/20 Endurance Foundation, we believe that greater diversity enriches the athletic experience for everyone, and that's why we created the Coaches of Color Initiative.” - Matt Fitzgerald
