Chicago Athlete Launches New Website!
 If you've visited our website in the last week or so, you may have noticed it looks really different! With help from
ConvienNet
, we've totally updated and modernized our site,
with you in mind.
More and more, people are debating the life expectancy of journalism as technology continues to take over our worlds. However, here at Chicago Athlete, we understand that there will always be a need for journalism, just the platform may change. This is exactly why we wanted our website to be just as accessible as our print magazine.
First, we made our homepage more organized and cohesive, and every category within the site is even more of a niche than the endurance industry itself. Even better, your local running, swimming, biking and triathlon news is right at your fingertips at all times on our newly-designed mobile site, which can be viewed on any smartphone or tablet.
We are still working out some kinks, but overall, we hope the redesign gives you the news you need quicker and in a more presentable fashion. So check it out, and let us know what you think!
