Who Are We?
We’re a Midwest collective.
From single track to lane one, and everything in between, we’re connected by our love for racing.
Ope Athletic Club is a Midwest based racing team united by our love of racing. Our team exists primarily as an online community, with members throughout the following cities:
-Ohio: Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati
-Michigan: Ann Arbor, Detroit, Grand Rapids
-Illinois: Chicago
-Kansas: Kansas City
-Nebraska: Omaha
Ope Athletic Club is looking to add members throughout other Midwest cities as well!
Our goal with Ope is to create a community and support system for people who love racing. Our team provides a place where members can go to each other for advice, plan meetups, or even racing together! Whether that means just engaging within the various chats we have or letting us know how racing is going, Ope exists as a place for community across various walks of life. We understand how tough it is to stay motivated, especially during long training blocks. Our hope is that having a community behind you helps provide that extra push, whether that is to stay motivated when times get hard or to get to the starting line knowing you’ll have some of your Ope teammates there too!
The team itself is made up of athletes of all talent levels and specialties. Over the last year we’ve had athletes compete over a variety of distances and disciplines including but not limited to:
-Track
-Cross Country
-Trail
-Roads
-Ultramarathon
-Triathlon
-Obstacle Course
All talent levels welcome.
