Courtney, Founder and Director of Shenanigans<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Courtney signed up for her first marathon before she had ever run more than a single 5K. Not long after that first marathon, she founded Run Chattanooga, in an effort to promote running for fun rather than for competition. In keeping with the tradition that the best race directors are also runners, Courtney is an ultramarathoner (completing distances up to 100K), marathoner, and half marathoner. In 2017, she broke the world record for most half marathons in a year, by running over 140 half marathons in 41 states.<\/p>\n


\n\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \"\"<\/center>Courtney does everything from coming up with race concepts to making sure runners are fed and hydrated and spoiled. She’s directed races in the sun and the rain and the snow, in temperatures ranging from 12 degrees to 95 degrees, she’s paced 100 milers in their final miles while wearing flip flops, she’s drained and taped countless blisters, massaged leg cramps, given tough love and gentle sympathy. She even directed a race five days after having an emergency c-section. Her main priorities are to make runners and walkers feel special, reach their goals, and most importantly to have fun!<\/p>\n

Bill, Jack of All Trades<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bill is a nuclear engineer and a Tennessee Vols fan. Bill’s favorite distance is the half marathon, although he’s pulled out a few marathons and an ultramarathon. He’s a pro at being the crew for ultramarathoners, and is happy to give new ultra crew members tips and tricks he’s learned along the way. Bill keeps us stocked in Gatorade, rings cowbells, and keeps the books balanced.<\/p>\n

Amy
\nDoer of all the things that Courtney comes up with to do<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Amy and her husband (THE) Mark took a chance on a bunch of crazies and showed up at the very first Burn Your Half Off. She helped out on what was a really crazy day after a crazy week, and he ran, and they have done every single Burn Your Half Off ever since. That includes the year we did four Burns in three days in two locations, and we even put a last minute Burn in Ocala near where they live, because they told us it would be a good idea to have a half marathon in Florida in June. (Spoiler alert: it was a really good idea.)<\/p>\n

Amy is a pro at keeping runners fed and hydrated, she is the absolute best at cutting watermelon (trust us, it tastes better when she cuts it), she makes the kitchen at Mo’ Bell the most well oiled of all machines, and if she knows how to be in a bad mood, we’ve never seen it happen. She’s also completed bunches of races, and she’s arguably the most intelligent of this whole crew. Amy lives with her husband Mark and their son Christopher in Central Florida.<\/p>\n

While these are the core crew members that you’ll see at most of our races, local volunteers are the heartbeat of this organization, and we cannot put on our races without the help of lots of happy humans! If you’re interested in volunteering to help us feed, hydrate, motivate, and congratulate the best runners and walkers in the world, please send an email to runawesomesauce@gmail.com<\/a>. Volunteers earn race credits toward future races – and those credits ARE transferable to family and friends!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
