A Team Built for the People Who Serve.
Condition One CORE is a free nationwide performance community for current and former military, law enforcement, fire, EMS, and first responders. Whether you're racing, training for a marathon, preparing for the Tactical Games, getting back into shape, or simply looking for people who understand where you came from—this is your team.
No dues. No race resume. No athletic standard. Just a commitment to pursue something.

Founder
Why I Built CORE
Video placeholder — final upload pending
I'm Jonathan McCune. I built Condition One because the tactical performance community I was looking for didn't exist. I'm launching CORE for the same reason.
Service gives us teams, standards, shared purpose, and people who expect something from us. For many, those things become harder to find when the uniform comes off. CORE exists to help make sure the team and purpose doesn't disappear with it.
The sport is the vehicle. The people are the point.
You Don't Have to Be a Racer.
You don't have to race.
You don't have to be fast.
You don't need a podium, an FTP, a marathon PR, a combat deployment, a disability rating, or a dramatic story.
You need a goal and a willingness to pursue it.
Maybe you're trying to win something.
Maybe you're trying to finish something.
Maybe you're trying to lose 40 pounds.
Maybe you're trying to find consistency again.
All of those matter.

The Path
How CORE Works
Apply
Tell us who you are, where you've served, where you're starting from, and what you're pursuing.
Join the Team
There is no membership fee. There is no race qualification. The application exists because we want to know our people.
Get Connected
Accepted members receive access to the CORE Discord and the national Strava community. TrainingPeaks resources integrate as the organization develops.
Pursue Something
Train. Race. Ride. Run. Lift. Ruck. Compete. Recover. Start over. The goal belongs to you.
Support the Team
Raise your hand when you need help. Raise your hand when someone else needs help. Build rides, runs, workouts, events, and community where you live.
The Commitment Goes Both Ways.
Your Commitment
- —Pursue something.
- —Do the work.
- —Represent the team well.
- —Ask for help when you need it.
- —Help the person beside you when you can.
Our Commitment
Condition One will work to provide:
Once you're CORE, you're CORE.
Deployment. Injury. Shift work. Family. Career. Loss. Life.
Sometimes life gets in the way.
Life gets in the way. Your seat is waiting.
Community Platform
How We Communicate
Discord
The Team Room
Introductions, regional groups, sport channels, training questions, events, sponsor benefits, group workouts, mentorship, and support.
Need something? Raise your hand. Able to help? Raise your hand.
Strava
The Athletic Heartbeat
Rides, runs, training, events, challenges, encouragement, and national and regional activity.
TrainingPeaks
Performance Infrastructure
An optional performance resource—not a requirement for CORE membership.
The Community Is Free.
Joining Condition One CORE costs nothing.
Free CORE Resources
Deeply Discounted for Members
Any cost associated with Condition One coaching for CORE members is intended to help offset the cost of delivering the service—not turn CORE into a membership revenue stream.
Team Kit
Wear the Team.
CORE members will have the opportunity to purchase team kit after acceptance.
The sport is the vehicle. The people are the point.
Once you're CORE, you're CORE.
The kit doesn't make you CORE.
But many of us understand what it means to put something on that represents the people beside us. Train in it. Race in it. Wear it. Let someone ask what CORE is.
Kit purchase is optional. Official CORE competition kit is not available for general public purchase.

This Isn't a Tryout.
We aren't looking for the fastest athletes, the longest service records, or the hardest stories. We want to know who you are.
Once you're CORE, you're CORE.
Life gets in the way. Your seat is waiting.
