OrganicAthlete is a nonprofit organization founded in 2003 with a goal to educate and unite people in pursuit of personal and global health. In 2005, members of OrganicAthlete's New York Chapter with love for cycling and help from a local racing club, Century Road Club Association (CRCA), formed a racing team under CRCA with title affiliation of OrganicAthlete.

And so, within just a few months, our CRCA/OrganicAthlete team has grown to 18 members and currently we are proud to have over 30 teammates, including women and juniors! It has been exhilarating, training and racing together, knowing that we are not only having fun but possibly capturing the attention of others and, in so doing, getting them to question the way they approach their health and this wonderful planet.

One objective for OrganicAthlete is promoting the consumption of organic foods. Some wise individual purportedly stated, “You are what you eat.” We do not use drugs, hormones or synthetic chemicals to enhance our performance and so we avoid consuming foods that contain non-natural additives. Nutritionally speaking, a whole food/plant based diet can supply maximum energy and nourishment so in that regard organic athletes might have a significant advantage. But an athlete's competitive ability is equally influenced by the individual's commitment, training, lifestyle and passion for the sport.

Secondly, OrganicAthlete has made a commitment to a sustainable, thriving Earth, with the hope of helping to maintain the pristine aspects of its environment for all of us to enjoy for generations to come. OrganicAthlete promotes a lifestyle that is interconnected and interdependent on a healthy planet. Ultimately, we strive to create not just a better athlete but a better world through how we live our lives.
