Aaron founded Race Away Events after discovering firsthand how trail running can transform a person. At forty, he couldn’t run a mile. Step by step, he broke away from comfort and self-doubt, eventually crossing the finish line of his first ultramarathon.
That journey shaped the heart of the Spaulding Woods 50K — a race built not just for the front-runners, but for anyone willing to take the next step. Designed to challenge, inspire, and welcome, it reflects the belief that every runner has the power to break away from their limits and discover what’s possible.
