Who are the folks behind these shenanigans?

 

Joe

Joe
Race Director

 

When he isn’t stirring up the next race, Joe has a healthy appetite for travel and has journeyed to about 40 countries over the last few years.

 

Last year he thought up the idea to bike across a country and El Salvador was the smallest one he could find, so he flew there, bought a bike and began pedaling. Long story short, eight days later he was being chased and sprinting to the Honduras border on foot.

Ryan

Ryan
Race Director

 

Ryan has an infectious personality. It’s a guarantee that if he, say, goes grocery shopping, he’ll come home with three new friends, a free loaf of bread and an invitation to dinner next Saturday.

 

In his free time he’s a professor of Environmental Science at a state university, a cicada-cooking connoisseur and the biggest guy in the room.

Kelli

Kelli
Race Director

 

Kelli scuba dives with man-eating sharks, takes approximately one million pictures per year and hopes to drive that motorcycle someday.

 

In her free time she begs Joe to add an Australian leg to The Great Urban Race tour, is involved in every club ever invented and hopes to learn how to read an analog clock this year.

Nicole

Nicole
Event Coordinator

 

Nicole can recite the alphabet backwards in 2.8 seconds, enjoys sliding through mud puddles at 2am and her life’s theme song is “Working for the Weekend”.

 

She survived her first month living in Chicago by eating macaroni and cheese, cheese sandwiches and cheese quesadillas. Her next dog is going to be named Hamburger.

Sarah

Sarah
Event Coordinator

 

Born and raised in Wisconsin, Sarah loves to visit the Mars Cheese Castle. She has three secret skills - badminton, Pictionary, and Wii bowling.

 

When she’s playing the game “What animal would you be?” she’s consistently identified as a koala bear.

Stephanie

Stephanie
Event Coordinator

 

Stephanie wishes she was a rapper named S-KSIZZLE, hopes to have a yoga pose named after her and is pretty sure she could live on only pepperoni Jack’s frozen pizzas.

 

She recently picked up snowboarding and while she might not be a pro yet, she’ll probably be the best dressed on the hill.

 

Email her at steph@redfrogevents.com to chat.

 


 

Lauren

Lauren
Event Coordinator

 

Lauren could probably beat you at foosball, Wheel of Fortune and peanut butter s’mores making.

 

This Detroit native is an avid Tigers fan, runner and sushi fanatic. She never has less than four different types of gum in her purse and never goes more than three days without using a bouncy ball.

Ryan

Julie
Event Coordinator

 

Julie was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida where she spent her days tipping cows, skipping rocks, bathing in the sun and reading trashy magazines.

 

She came to the city with big shoulders with nothing but a peanut butter sandwich, broken phone charger and a smile.

Ryan

Stephanie
Event Coordinator

 

Don’t let her five-foot stature fool you, Stephanie has seriously big guns. This little ball of energy was born an adventurer, having climbed and fallen out of her crib 400 times.

 

She’s an accomplished gymnast and loves paintballing, wakeboarding and long backpacking trips. Stephanie was once covered in 40 gigantic black flies and lived to tell about it.

Alex
Event Coordinator

 

Alex has solved a Rubix cube in 1 minute and 40 seconds, once ate 14 tacos in one sitting and has had a chugging race with a whole bottle of maple syrup (he lost).

 

He has an unhealthy affection for Mongolian Beef and does not like to walk home completely covered in mud.
