ABOUT ME
Mission:
This is a self-guided mission to volunteer/race a 100 races to learn the craft of race making (and remain healthy) in order to become a race director. Everyone is the strongest version of themselves during race day. After losing a 150 lbs., I took an oath to help anyone who's stuck where I once was. I mainly focus on novelty races, Obstacle-course races, and fun runs which I believe hold the biggest potential to start a running revolution.
I have so-far participated in 20 races as a volunteer or competitor. Volunteering roles have varied between setting up the courses, registering racers, finish line announcement, promotion, course planning, and setting up parking spots. I have learned invaluable lessons that could be utilized in event management, marketing, and team leadership. 80 races to go....
