Born in 2014 as part of a University Project, Raise Athletics began from nothing more than a love of sport, fitness, and the joy of staying active. Over the years, what started as a personal experiment (designing and testing eye catching clothing to wear whilst training) has grown, evolved, and been refined countless times.
For nearly a decade, the brand was kept as a personal outlet for creativity and performance testing. But as the passion for sport and exercise grew stronger, so did the desire to share it with others.
​
Fast forward to 2025, and we are proud to open up the brand to like-minded runners, athletes, and sports enthusiasts across Stafford and beyond. We are by no means a finished product, we believe in constant improvement and want to keep learning, growing and adapting our brand.
All of our garments we have been rigorously tested, whether it’s pushing through long runs, sweaty gym sessions, or braving the unpredictable UK weather – to ensure comfort, reliability, and durability. We’ve invested heavily in trialling different fabrics, fits, and print techniques, determined to achieve a balance of function and style that makes each piece feel as good as it looks.
​
As well as being an independent Endurance sports brand, we offer a Customised Performance wear service. Whether for teams, events, or individuals looking to create personalised running and sports gear, we provide a complete solution. With our graphic design expertise, we can help bring your ideas to life, from designing brand new concepts to refining and optimising existing logos and artwork for high quality garment printing. We can also advise on which products will be best suitable for individual needs and goals.
​
At our core, our mission is simple: to create inclusive, inspiring sportswear that supports every person, from every background, on their fitness journey. Whether you’re chasing personal bests, starting out on a healthier path, or simply moving for the joy of it, our brand is here alongside you every step of the way.
