At Endurance Physio, we’re lucky to be able to support some amazing local organizations and events. We are taking this opportunity to share them with you and why we think each is so valuable in our community.
MTB Missoula
MTB Missoula’s mission is to promote the development and sustainability of mountain biking in the Missoula area.They ensure the sustainability of existing trail resources, provide sustainable trail building expertise, and serve as a unifying voice for the mountain bike community in the Missoula area. They work towards this mission through community outreach and events, and through rider and youth education.
Some recent milestones that MTB Missoula has accomplished include: Maintaining over 80 miles of singletrack for the benefit of all user groups; building bike-optimized trails within riding distance of town; collaborating with wilderness groups to protect access to beloved alpine rides; and promoting the Missoula XC and the Western Montana Trail Series, popular events that cater to a wide range of riders
Endurance Physio understands and appreciates the time, hard work, and financial resources that it takes to open, build, and maintain trails. The board and staff of MTB Missoula have an inspiring passion for creating mountain biking opportunities in Missoula and work tirelessly towards their mission. We’re honored to be able to support the great work of MTB Missoula and look forward to seeing what they accomplish next!

RATPOD
The annual Ride Around The Pioneers in One Day is a highly anticipated fundraiser comprised of 126 miles of cycling through the beautiful Big Hole valley in Southwest MT.
RATPOD is the single largest fundraiser for Camp Mak-A-Dream, a cost-free camp in western Montana for children, young adults and families affected by cancer. Their mission is to provide cost-free Montana experiences, in an intimate community setting for children, teens, young adults, women and families affected by cancer, as well as programs for children who have a sibling or a parent with cancer. Since opening its doors, Camp Mak-A-Dream has welcomed thousands of participants from across the United States, Canada, and several other countries.
Talk about a great cause! The RATPOD team wants to make sure every dollar possible benefits Camp Mak-A-Dream. To help with that goal, Endurance Physio is excited to help cover race-day expenses this year. We’re also inspired to complete the ride ourselves. You’ll see Anya there this year - give her a shout!

MT Alpha
MT Alpha Cycling Team is the region’s first premier women’s mountain bike race team. Through trail maintenance, skills clinics, event volunteering and racing, they support the growth and development of mountain biking in our community, creating lifelong friendships along the way.
MT Alpha is equally as dedicated to developing young riders. The MT Alpha Junior Development Team is a safe place where young girls can go to develop new skills, practice as a team and travel to races around the state. The annual MT Alpha skills clinic is open to ladies and junior boys and girls. The MT Alpha team leads lessons in everything from bike comfort and braking to downhill riding and cornering and wraps up with an afternoon group ride.
Endurance Physio loves the passion these women share for mountain biking, youth development, mentorship, and creating more opportunities for everyone to enjoy the great trails around Missoula! We are proud to support the team, doing our part to keep them healthy and rippin’ trail!
