Jasen has always been a pretty active person, but didn’t start running until January 2021. He started running on trails, and ran his first 5k with SRR at a Prediction run at Salisbury City Park. Since then, he has fallen in love with running longer and longer distances. His longest race so far was 51 miles at James River State Park in Virginia, finishing in just under 12 hours. He doesn’t plan on stopping there! Having worked in food service for most of his life. Jasen likes to spend his free time running around in the woods and/or mountains, mediating, and any activity involving a Frisbee. He lives with his 2 dogs, Sam and King. They love to travel and explore together!

Rebecca started running as a freshman at West Rowan High School, eventually becoming County and Conference Runner of the Year for multiple years.
