SIX03 Endurance
SIX03 is a team of fun, healthy and athletic people who share a passion for the outdoors and the social community. Their members range from people looking to run their first 5K to National Ironman finishers. They focus on wanting a team for every sport and promoting camaraderie, encouraging fitness, enhancing training and increasing knowledge through group runs, meet-ups and special events. Their races range from the Sunapee Scramble to the Loon Mountain Race and Great Pumpkin Trail Relay in Lee.
