Welcome to Race Away Events!

Aaron Sylvain, Race Director.

As a Road Runner's Club of America Certified Race Director and a former Certified Fitness Trainer, Aaron brings a unique perspective and passion to the world of ultrarunning. While his running achievements do not boast numerous ultramarathon accolades, Aaron aspires to share his experiences as a middle-of-the-pack runner, aiming to be a source of inspiration for others to achieve the seemingly impossible.

Aaron began his ultrarunning journey at the age of forty, overcoming the initial challenge of not being able to run a sustained mile. Juggling training, family commitments, and a forty-hour work week, he successfully completed his first sixty-mile ultramarathon after months of dedicated effort. The fitness, mental fortitude, and confidence gained through ultrarunning have become the cornerstone of Race Away Events' mission – inspiring fellow ultrarunners, especially newcomers, to embrace the transformative challenges and benefits that ultra-trail running offers.

Race Away Events extends an invitation for you to join the continuous pursuit of learning, improvement, and the sheer joy that the sport of ultrarunning and its vibrant community offers.
