The lowdown on Go Multi

At Go Multi, our aim is to help our readers maintain the impetus that attracted them to endurance sport.

We want to help them grow their fitness and health, with progressive articles and insights that other magazines are not offering.

Go Multi's readers are attracted to exercise, health and adventure. They believe in self-improvement and are not afraid of failure. They demand nothing less than being fit and fabulous at all times and spend much of their leisure time outdoors, travelling to exciting places and challenging themselves with epic tests of endurance and character. Quality in the products they choose to purchase - after thoughtful consideration - is important to Go Multi readers. Our editorial places great emphasis on critical thinking and presenting the best products, events and experiences.

Before we suggest that you 'Go Multi', you're probably going to ask: "So what the heck is multisport anyway?" 

Great question! Let's get the definitions out of the way so we can get onto the stuff that really matters, which is getting you knowledgeable and ready to start that second or third discipline.

OK, here's the definition: Multisport by its very nature needs to include at least two endurance sports or else it's just sport, without the multi. You don't need to do triathlons or even do back-to-back disciplines to be a multisporter. As soon as you start enjoying a second sport, you're a multisporter.

Time for another definition. Wondering what an endurance sport is? These are sports where distance, terrain and time are the chief antagonists, and competitors have to use muscle power to move from start to finish. To be classified as an endurance sport, the event must also be timed and allow individuals or teams to race others over a fixed distance. Based on that quick definition, surfing, hang-gliding, chess and water hockey are not classed as endurance sports! Multisport is not necessarily about racing for medals, glory or money. Arguably 99% of participants do it for just that reason - because it's there, and because it makes them feel good and adds meaning to their lives.

Once you've done that - which is done in tiny increments, so small that you can start them right now, just in your mind - you've become a true multisport warrior. Your age, weight, gender and nationality don't matter. You're part of the Tribe now. Welcome!

Beyond definitions, beyond categories... Life's too short for one sport!

Our mission statement...

Life's too short for one sport guides everything we think, say and do at the magazine.

Our business goal is to be an innovative, progressive media company that creates inspiration for our readers and future readers who are yet to discover the life-changing benefits of effective cross-training.

Our simple, six word call to action brings together the ideals of fitness, health, body-mind awareness and the principle of constant improvement, all while having fun in the outdoors through adventure racing, canoeing, cycling, mountain biking, running, swimming, surfski and triathlon. There's only one thing to do if you're in a one-dimensional rut and that is to Go Multi.

Wouldn't you like to join the multisport movement today? All it takes is a decision to add one activity to the one you do now and alternate them.
