Welcome to CVM!
This group was established by two friends who connected over a mutual love for endurance training. Between early morning long runs, cranking out grueling basement strength training sessions, shivering our tails off in open water swims, and putting out thousands of cycling miles on the back roads of central Pennsylvania over the years, getting to train together has brought with it countless adventures, valuable accountability, and so much joy. It all started with the Pine Creek rail trail marathon in 2020 and has since grown to include multiple Ironman races, the most recent being Ironman Maryland in 2024. There is something so fulfilling about setting an exciting goal that pushes you out of your comfort zone and brings joy to your life, especially when it’s done alongside training buddies who want to grow with you.
We believe there is some form of movement out there for everyone who enjoys pushing their body to see what it’s capable of, they just have to look for it. We also have come to deeply value the character development and personal growth that happens in athletics and have seen a need for an established group that offers this kind of camaraderie and organized resources in our local community. As busy age groupers with families and careers, we understand many of the challenges often faced by those who are trying to integrate sport into their lives and how isolating it can be at times. We’ve made all of the rookie mistakes possible, which has helped us learn a lot of valuable lessons we hope to share with others to minimize the learning curve they have to go through in taking up this sport. Our goal is to provide a launching pad for all people who enjoy pushing themselves to find new growth through the resources and friends they connect with in this club. Come join us in our collective pursuit of individual development as we endure together and enjoy the enrichment it brings to our lives along the way!
