Our Story & Vision
The idea to create a nonprofit racing team in St. Louis has been in our heads for a while.
As long-time runners and members of the Spewak Training community, we’ve seen runners fall in and out of touch with the sport for various reasons. Either their running buddies moved, or they got too busy at home, or a particularly cold winter knocked them off their routine. Especially during the pandemic, many stopped running altogether.
So we asked ourselves: what things do runners really need to stay engaged in the sport they love? We thought about all the things that have supported us through our running journeys, and a vision started to take form.
That vision became Spewak Racing.
Running requires a combination of structure and flexibility in order for it to remain a sustainable and enjoyable part of our lives. That’s the environment we’re cultivating for members of Spewak Racing. We want to give St. Louis runners a team to call their own—one that aligns with their values and fits seamlessly into their lives.
