Afterburner

Afterburner

Once burned through three pairs of shoes in a single race due to "excessive thruster power." Known for sprinting past aid stations just to grab a cup of Gatorade with chopsticks.

Rooster

Rooster

Runs exclusively at sunrise and crows loudly at every mile marker. Claims to have once woken up an entire small town mid-race with his "mile 7 battle cry."

Big Deuce

Big Deuce

Legend has it he dropped a porta-potty in record time and still finished his leg ahead of schedule. Motto: "Never trust a gel packet."

D-Naughty

D-Naughty

Was banned from three treadmills for "suggestive stretching routines." Famously carries mistletoe at all December races — and has the selfies to prove it.

Shotgun

Shotgun

Notorious for starting every leg by yelling "Runners, lock and load!" Once ran 10 miles carrying a karaoke machine because the playlist wasn’t good enough.

Switch Back

Switch Back

Takes every hill as a personal vendetta. Known to zigzag even on flat ground “for the drama.” Frequently forgets which way is forward, but somehow still finishes first.

Bad Boy

Bad Boy

Has broken every “No Trespassing” sign on the trail circuit. Prefers leather running shorts (not recommended). Rumor has it he once outran a park ranger just for fun.
