Val Brown
I am excited to be a GCXC Ambassador because:
I am thrilled because I love the energy racing brings. I want everyone to feel the excitement from running together like I do. GCXC in particular has a great number of races that can bring us all together, especially in the winter when consistent training can be more difficult. People can expect me to be encouraging and honest. I want everyone to have their own best experience, whatever that means to them at that moment. I also want people to know not every run is going to be the best. One bad run is just that, ONE bad run.

Ann Cook
I am excited to be a GCXC Ambassador because:
I want to encourage others to enjoy all that running has to offer! No matter the pace, distance, or terrain, running has so many benefits - mentally, physically, and especially socially! I hope to encourage others to get out there and give it a shot without fear of judgment! This year, I plan to run several races including Just a Short Run, and I hope to run my furthest distance, 100+ miles at a backyard ultra!

Amanda Hardt
I am excited to be a GCXC Ambassador because:
Running is a huge part of my life and I always share it - even my struggles. People can expect me to be raw and honest with my running journey as it has it's ups and downs. I'm an open book, and I always aim to be true to myself and show the reality behind running.

Val Porter
I am excited to be a GCXC Ambassador because:
I’m so grateful for the opportunity to grow as an athlete and meet new friends in the community. GCXC puts on some of the most fun races that are always well supported and organized, I can’t wait to be a part of more of them as a runner AND a volunteer! You can expect all the dance breaks, snacks, and encouragement from me - any body is a runners body and any pace can be a runners pace!

Cody Redmond
I am excited to be a GCXC Ambassador because:
I love supporting people who love what I love. I first ran with your company awhile back when I came across the two face run medals at a pro bike shop and really wanted them. Over the past couple years I have gotten to see the races you put on and they type of environment that you make. I will also say that our talk before being selected made me even more excited because it made sure I was looking to support the right people. The runners can expect a guy who likes to lead by example and make everyone feel happy about what they are doing. Even at the last Run Santa Run I cheered on everyone while I was making my way back to the finish line. They can expect a few corny jokes and encouragement as well!
