CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Coaches, race directors, endurance sports athletes and industry professionals gathered in person Jan. 4-7 in Charlotte, North Carolina, for USA Triathlon’s fifth annual Endurance Exchange, the premier industry-wide conference for endurance sports hosted by USA Triathlon.

Endurance Exchange was abuzz with activity at the University of North Carolina Charlotte campus as attendees networked and learned during the more than 30 live sessions presented by the industry’s top coaches, race directors and industry professionals. The conference featured a mix of hands-on, experiential learning workshops — including in-water pool sessions — and lecture experiences to educate athletes, coaches, race directors and more members of the multisport community.

"My favorite part of the Endurance Exchange experience is that we had 500 people from around the country all coming together to share best practices in a way that you rarely get to do as a coach or a race director," said Victoria Brumfield, USA Triathlon CEO. "We had a wonderful four days of learning, connecting and inspiring at Endurance Exchange, which was a great way to kick off the 2024 season."

Renowned physiologist, sports scientist and coach Iñigo San Millán kicked off the presentations on Jan. 6 as the conference's keynote speaker. A pioneer in the development of new methodologies for athletic performance, San Millán has made significant contributions to the fields of endurance sports, metabolic health, and performance optimization. Throughout his 27-year career, he has worked with many elite and professional athletes, including 2020 and 2021 Tour de France winner, Tadej Pogačar.

In his Endurance Exchange keynote, San Millán shared the key takeaways of his research, which focuses on the interplay between genetics, lifestyle, and performance, with a particular emphasis on how athletes can optimize their training and nutrition to achieve their full potential.
