General
I’ve done just about every race that Courtney has put on, at least once, and I can guarantee that you’ll never find a better combination of good food (and SO MUCH OF IT), great support (when the race director is personally popping blisters and massaging backs, you know you’re in good hands), and lots of fun. A great mix of fast runners, mid-pack runners, and walkers like me, and everyone gets the exact same treatment. These people truly don’t care if you’re fast or slow, they just want everyone to have a good time and reach their goals. – T.F.
It’s not that other races are bad, but once you’ve experienced the magic of an Awesomesauce race, all other races will be disappointments. – R.H.
Awesomesauce — best aid stations EVER! – M.S.
Can’t express how fun Courtney made it for the volunteers and runners! Can’t wait to do more events in the future! – A.N.
Best RD ever! – L.R.
I don’t have the words to describe how lucky/blessed/fortunate/thankful that my first big one was with Awesomesauce Events. The runners and the people behind the scenes made it one of the best things I have ever done. Thank you for bringing a magic to running! – H.B.

I will be talking about this race for a long time. Thanks for making my first out of state ultra such an amazing experience. – P.S.
Raccoon Mountain
Very informal and well-organized. – S.B.
Raccoon Mountain Half was a BLAST! Completely renewed my love for trails. Super cool medal, great aid stations, plenty of food at the finish, and super cool swag. – A.W.
This is the most fun, attentive, well-provided race I’ve run. The people are kind and encouraging, the food is amazing, it’s an absolute blast. – G.L.
My favorite medal, by FAR. – K.F.
Best medal ever. That’s when you know a race committee puts their heart into a race. – C.T.
One of my fave races! – T.W.
Run Amok
I felt like I was running through a picture postcard! – E.R.
Best RD and volunteers EVER! A nice community coming together for the joy of running/walking and accomplishing amazing goals! – S.P.
I LOVED Run Amok! Overall such a great experience! Awesome swag, tons of food including vegetarian, trails were well marked with stuffed animals tied to the trees. Very funny race director too. Everyone was wonderful. – K.G.
This has got to be thee best race to accomplish/attempt new running goals!!! If you’ve done a marathon, you can easily complete a 50k here. And if you decide to be part of the volunteer squad, you will walk away with bragging rights that you were part of the best volunteer squad.
One of the most fun races I have run. I would definitely recommend one of their races to anyone. They made sure we had anything and everything we would ever want and made covering the 50K and 13.1 distances so fun. – S.F.
