Look for the new FIND option on the top menu, it allows you to search for other members, groups and events by location or interest code. As our membership gets larger, we'll add some additional functionality to allow you to further refine your search results.
For an example, search on 50 miles for United States and zip code 22202 (this is the Washington, DC area). You will see at least one member (me!) and a group that I created. Or check out 100 miles for South Africa and the city of Cape Town to view a bunch of our South African members!
Fun stuff!

If you regularly train with a group of friends, a club or a team, you've got to check out our new Group functionality! Groups are used to organize groups of people around common interests and/or locations. Groups can be public or private and each group has its own forum for posting messages.
The neat thing is that you can create Events for your Group. Events can be anything, but are commonly used for organizing group workouts, happy hours, meetings, etc. Group members RSVP for these events, making it easy to manage and organize group workouts.
We have also built some exciting integration with Twitter, which will allow you to receive Group notices for things like new members and new events via Twitter.
To see an example of a training group, visit the Groups tab in my training log: http://endurancejunkies.com/profile/profile_groups.asp?ejid=2
To create a new Group, go to the Groups tab in your training log and click the Create New Group link. For more info about Groups and Group Events, check out our new help section: http://endurancejunkies.com/help/
Stay tuned for more cool functionality. For example, you will start seeing Groups and Events appearing in searches on the site.
