ABOUT SPITE CLUB

In July 2025, our founding member was invited to run the 2026 Austin International Half Marathon, a race which can be run as a relay. Thinking that the invitation was to join an existing relay team, he proceeded to sign up and began training. Later, he found out that this invitation was not for him to join the existing relay team. Fully signed up, and now training for a race that he was potentially running alone, he found himself with a new motivation in hand: spite.

He invited a friend from Austin to run the race with him, and for fun, designed a shirt that reflected his new motivation. He invited a third friend to run, but that guy would literally rather do anything else (he also recently watched the episode of Welcome to Wrexham where Humphrey Ker ran a marathon and left streaks of nipple blood on his running shirt). That friend loved the shirt though and loved the idea of spite being a motivator for fitness. From there, the idea kept developing: spite doesn't need to be hateful, and it can be something to harness and use for personal improvement.

Those three friends created Spite Club with that idea in mind. We want to be in your corner as you begin or continue your fitness journey. We've started by offering premium apparel and accessories to help you look and feel ready for what's next. We're looking to develop and launch a mobile app, not just as a way to shop our products, but as a tool to help you track your workouts and goals, stay motivated, and earn rewards based on your progress.

We hope that we can be part of your journey: maybe a little bit of spite can help push you too.
