This Meet the Team spotlight comes as a package deal: Tim and Sheila, a husband-and-wife duo who have spent plenty of miles running races together and now bring that same teamwork to helping make ours happen. ❤️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

If you’ve met Sheila at an event, chances are you remember the smile. She brings joy and energy wherever she goes, whether she’s welcoming runners at the finish line, helping volunteers know exactly where they need to be, or leading a pre-race volunteer powwow. She has a gift for making people feel taken care of, and both our staff and participants are better for it.

Tim is one of the steady hands behind our course operations. As a lead course team member, he helps make sure things are where they need to be and keeps race day moving in the right direction. Dependable when it counts and always ready with a smile or a well-timed laugh, Tim also brings plenty of personality to the team, especially when the conversation turns to his beloved Ohio State Buckeyes. 🌰😄

Together, Tim and Sheila are the kind of pair every race team hopes to have. Give them a job, and they’ll get it done. See something that needs doing, and they’re already jumping in. They bring reliability when things get busy, fun when the days get long, and an energy that makes race day better for everyone around them.

We’re incredibly thankful that these two traded some of their race miles for race-day teamwork, and we’re lucky to have Tim and Sheila as part of the Flat-Out family. 💙

💬 Help us show this dynamic duo some love in the comments! 👏

As we head into fall, we’re looking ahead at how we can help others through one of our favorite fall races. 🍂🦃💙

At the Glowing Gobbler 5K, we’re proud to once again partner with THRIVE Peninsula and support the incredible work they’re doing for our neighbors in need.

THRIVE’s impact across our community last year alone:
🥫 Nearly 1 MILLION pounds of food distributed
💙 More than 40,000 people served

This year, we’ve set a goal to raise $1,500 for THRIVE through the Glowing Gobbler, and we need your help to get there! During registration, you’ll have the opportunity to round up or make a donation to support their work providing food, housing assistance, and resources that help local families build long-term stability.

You can also make an impact on race day by bringing nonperishable food donations to help keep THRIVE’s free grocery store stocked for families throughout our community. 🥫

With your help, we can reach our $1,500 goal and help sustain the incredible work THRIVE provides for neighbors who need it most.

Glowing Gobbler is taking place on Thanksgiving Eve (November 25th), and every mile can mean a little more. 💙

Building strength happens one small movement at a time, and we’re grateful to have Pure Barre Newport News as an official Flat-Out Events partner! 💪❤️

Pure Barre brings people together through low-impact, high-intensity full-body workouts designed to build strength, improve flexibility and balance, and challenge you at every fitness level. Inspired by yoga, Pilates, and ballet, their classes prove that you don’t have to log miles to put in some serious work. 🔥

They’ll be joining us on site at the Noland Trail 50K & Relay, so whether you’re tackling the full 50K or taking on the trail with your relay team, be sure to stop by and say hello! 🌲🏃

We’re thankful to have Pure Barre Newport News alongside us as we continue building a stronger, healthier community through movement, connection, and shared goals.

This Thankful Thursday, we are celebrating the incredible volunteers who help make every Flat-Out Events race possible! 🫶

From greeting runners at packet pickup and handing out bibs, to keeping everyone safe and encouraged along the course, to being among the first voices they hear cheering “congratulations” at the finish line, our volunteers are part of every meaningful race-day moment.

They show up early, stay late, bring energy when runners need it most, and give their time to help create an experience our participants will always remember. Simply put, we could not do what we do without them.

To every volunteer who has shared their time, enthusiasm, and heart with us, thank you. You are such an important part of the Flat-Out Events family, and we are incredibly grateful for the role you play in bringing our races to life! ❤️
