Jade Oakes-Hatt - Jade’s a life-long Pine “Cricker” who was running around the Rocksylvania mountains before she even knew trail running was a thing. Running her first trail race at the original Call of the Wilds, she discovered other people who like to hide in the woods for hours on end as much as she does. More of a hard ass than a bad ass, she’s likely to tell you to quit whining and run. But, she’s married to a Canadian, so she’ll probably apologize to you for it, too.

Ben Mazur - Known to speak in poems that don't rhyme, Ben's verbal scavenger hunts are perfect for volunteers in remote locations. He's the president of Allegheny Trailrunners, co-race director of the Black Forest Ultra, and seeker of truth in beer. You'll often find him sleeping in his car and when not officially working, trying to confuse our race director with gibberish of wet ducks with sinus problems.

Amanda and Adam Quinton - Our finish-line food coordinators are a dynamic duo. She has a cooking and baking problem that makes her workout and run as much as she does. She can be found running regularly 4 times a week and at several of the local 5ks, 10ks, and half marathons throughout the year. She has even been crazy enough to run Dave's Fall Classic for three years in a row and convinced others to join her. Now, he only likes to run the races that has the best food or beer at the finish line, but has several years of experience running support for multiple runners (usually his wife and her family). They have learned and shadowed the best finish line food coordinator, so they will continue to provide you with delicious food to fill your bellies at the end of your race.
