Dave is the state rabbit. He believes that the first mile is free, because what happens in the first mile stays in the first mile. You can find him in the front of most any race, at least for the first few miles, as long as Brett Hales isn't running it.

CURTIS EPPLEY

As a youth, I never liked running. My brother-in-law would ask me to go running with him every day. I always declined. Why run for no purpose?

My mom was my inspiration to finally start running. I soon found it a great outlet for my competitive spirit. I then wrote down all of my brother-in-law’s PR's and used them as goals. 

As a Super Masters runner I most enjoy beating the teens and guys half my age.

Mantra – Embrace the Pain. If you don’t puke at the finish line you didn’t give it your all!

TARA LEWIS

I love love my sweet little family, and I feel like running helps me to be a better wife and mom of four kids.  I love waking up early and getting my run in before they wake up (or better run with them riding scooters around me and giving me high five like they sometimes do in the summers:) ), and I feel like running gives me more energy to get things done and play tennis with them and do everything else!

JULIE MEADS

I ran for BYU from 2003-2007 and competed on both the track and cross country team. During my college years I was more of a mid-distance runner but have grown to love longer distances as I’ve gotten older! I’m excited to be part of the racing team and look forward to competing with a RC Jersey on!

MICHAEL BRAMAN

Michael Grew up in San Diego, California and just 3 years ago decided he "wanted to be a runner" and dove head first into the sport with his sights on the ultra trail scene. The excitement of competition and pushing one's self beyond what many feel is impossible is what drives Michael to get out the door and train day after day. Michael is also an avid gardener and fly fisherman.
