2023 RACE YEAR-IN-REVIEW
In October 2023 we hosted our final race of the year with the SPACEROCK Trail Race. It was a spectacular race experience. 2023 blew us away on all our races thanks to the incredible runners and superstar volunteers who came out to support and enjoy the experiences we created. We are humbled by the tremendous support we get from runners, volunteers, and sponsors who sign up for each race.
In reviewing the year we like to share some stats about our 2023 race year with you. We believe in having transparency with our participants and volunteers because these races are only successful thanks to your participation. Your support and commitment to participate inspire us and reaffirm that we are doing the right thing by creating a healthy and positive benefit for our community. Combining our passion for running, creativity, nature, people, and love to create the best race experiences possible. We consider everyone who participates in our races to be a part of our race family.
We are pleased and thankful for the support from runners and volunteers as we continue to rebound from the pandemic disruption. 2023 turned out to be about 95% of pre-pandemic levels for us. All signs continue to point in the right direction and the enthusiasm we are seeing from runners and volunteers is awesome and humbling. To everyone who was a part of our races, you made this possible and for that we are grateful, thank you.
Each of our races is a labor of love, we work on them year-round to bring you the ultimate “race day” experience. We are deep into 2024 preparations and are super excited to continue working hard to bring you our signature race experiences along with a few new surprises. We can’t wait to show you what we have in store once they are ready to reveal. For now, pat yourself on the back for a great year of running accomplishments, and enjoy our 2023 review in the infographic below.
