A storyteller by nature, and a very talkative one at that, Katie lives her life ensuring her story is worth telling. After obtaining her journalism degree from the University of Nevada, Reno (Go Wolf Pack!), she was determined to find a career that would allow her to combine her passion for communications and her love for the outdoors. Enter Vacation Races.

When she is not working, you can find her traveling the world, hiking, paddle boarding, snowshoeing and otherwise exploring the great outdoors with her husband, Erik.

Lauren grew up in central Pennsylvania and spent her childhood days darting through the branches of fallen trees and examining the damp undersides of rotting logs. Darting through the forest secured her love for running, exploring, and the outdoors.

She prefers to listen more than speak, but that doesn't mean she's shy! Apart from exploring the outdoors with her dog Georgia, Lauren enjoys drawing, painting, and archery. 

A lifelong New Englander and avid traveler, Sam looks forward to exploring our National Parks for the first time as the team's graphic designer. 

She spends her weekends cooking, hiking, and re-watching Star Trek episodes.

Kaelee grew up in beautiful Southern Utah with Zion National Park as her backyard, and it's still one of her favorite places to visit - a lot for the views but also for the food.

She is our customer service representative and has the answer to all (or most) of your questions so don't hesitate to ask away!

Jen enjoys all things outdoors from running, hiking in the National Parks, SUP yoga and traveling to as many places as possible with her sweet dog, Gigi.

She has applied her eight years of sponsor sales experience to support the Vacation Races sponsorship portfolio. She truly enjoys creating relationships with brands to enhance the runner experience.
