Please feel free to contact the race directors at hagglakemud@gmail.comTodd Janssen  .Todd Janssen lives in Beaverton with his wife and two dogs. He has been running since he was young – running his first marathon when he was 16 – and is now focused on longer events. In 2011, he competed the Leadman, a series of long-distance events that take place above 10,000 feet, and is a member of one of the top-ranked adventure racing teams in the U.S. He is always looking for new ways to make Hagg Lake a runner-focused event that provides friendly competition, good camaraderie and a reason to want to come back again next year. Eric & Kelly Barten .Eric & Kelly Barten live in Beaverton with their three cats and will welcome their first child in April of 2012. Eric and Kelly also own Marathon Pizzeria (link to marathonpizzeria.com) located at the corner of Highway 8 and Cornelius Pass Road in Hillsboro. Kelly prefers participating in the “JV ultras” such as the Hagg Lake 25k, which she ran twice, in 2007 and 2009; or the Peterson Ridge Rumble 30k (which she ran in 2007). Kelly founded the RunOregon blog found at oregonlive.com/running and facebook.com/runoregon, which now has a group of 10+ community bloggers covering Oregon and SW Washington running news. Kelly loves the supportive atmosphere found in ultra running, and enjoys working to make Hagg Lake one of the most popular ultras in the Pacific NW. Eric first joined the Hagg Lake team when he planned and prepared all of the food for the 2010 Hagg Lake Ultras. He did such a great job, Kelly and Todd decided to lock him in and invited him to be official as another of their RD team in 2011. Eric has been a runner since high school, and has run six marathons, including a 2:49 PR in Eugene in 2009. In addition to running, he loves cooking and is striving to have the best finish-line food of any Oregon race. Marianne Jones  Marianne lives in SW Portland with her husband, Brent, and their runner-dog, Morgan. Marianne moved to Portland two and a half years ago from New Hampshire and is not sure she’ll ever become an east coaster again… at least in terms of location: she still likes to drive fast and support New England teams. Marianne currently works at a small gym called Recreate Fitness that she absolutely loves! Marianne is joining this year’s 2012 Hagg Lake team to gain some experience from the extraordinaire race directing crew of Todd, Kelly and Eric. She loves running, and the runner community even more. She is a community blogger for Run Oregon and her collection of race shirts has expanded 100 fold since moving across the country, running and writing about races. She ran the 2009 and paced the 2011 Portland Marathon. She’s run three half-marathons in 2011 and deciding on one more for the year. Marianne can’t wait to meet all the Hagg community and is so excited to be on board. |
