ABOUT VACATION RACES
Vacation Races was founded in 2012 by Salem and Megan Stanley on the idea that combining racing and travel has the potential to deliver a life changing experience. Going to a race is an opportunity to break out of routine, discover new places, meet other runners, and push our personal limits. Athletes have enough to stress about with the race itself, and shouldn't have to be burdened with navigating crowded cities, dealing with congested traffic and smog, or cup-covered race courses. Fortunately, our National Parks provide a breathtaking backdrop for the most scenic races in the world. Athletes can spend a part of their trip running among friends and absorbing nature’s beauty, then spend the remainder of their time hiking, exploring, and enjoying the serenity of the National Parks. Either way, you'll set a personal record for the best vacation ever, and Vacation Races is here to help deliver that experience!
