Ben has been announcing cycling and running races since 2014. Originally as a way to heckle racers and pass the time, Ben started announcing his own events as a race promotor for some of the top cyclo-cross races in Michigan. Since then, Ben joined the Epic Race team in 2016 as an announcer for the Waterloo Grit and Gravel bike event. He has since branched out to running races, charity events, and triathlons in the central Michigan area.
In his day job as a professor at Central Michigan University, Ben has been a “professional speaker” for over 12 years to his students in physical education, fitness, coaching and sport skill instruction classes. Ben currently consults with bicycling education curriculums across the world and has almost completed a doctorate in educational technology.
Ben started his competitive career as a road cyclist, toeing the line with professional racers across the Midwest region. This led him to race promoting where he directed the two top road race events in Michigan along with two top cyclocross events in the state for almost 10 years. His racing and promoting career recently took a back seat to his family, two lovely children and his beautiful wife, Chivon. He is grateful for the opportunity to work with Epic Races to keep his love for competitive endurance events alive.
We will be treated by the golden voice of Art Joslin sending us off with the singing of the National Anthem.

Please use our buses for transportation to Gallup Park if you are running leg 2 or 4.
Here is what you need to know about the buses:
- The first bus will leave from 5th and Madison at 7:50 a.m.
- The second bus will leave from the same location at approximately 8:30 a.m. and every 40 minutes thereafter.
- When the second bus arrives at Gallup Park, the first bus will head back to the start line with those who have finished leg one. It will then shuttle back and forth from the start/finish area to Gallup Park until noon. Any leg 3 runners arriving at Gallup Park after 12:30 p.m. will need to be picked up by their wonderful teammates or at least get reimbursed by their teammates for an Uber.
- Bag check will be available for legs 1 & 3 to have dry clothes waiting at Gallup Park and for legs 2 & 4 to leave a bag of excess clothing to be transported back to the start/finish area. The bags and labels will be available at our “bag check” area as well as on the buses. You may not use your own bag and all contents within the bag will need to be visible. Any other bags will be left behind.
Leg #1 (7.05 miles)
You will begin at the official start line with everybody. If you would like to have warm, dry clothes for you when you finish your leg, you should put your belongings in a “bag check” bag and give it to your teammate. You can get a bag at our “bag check” area and we will also have them on the bus. When you arrive at Gallup Park, your stuff will be there and there will be a bus to transport you back to the start/finish area.
Leg #2 (6.05 miles)
You will take the bus to Gallup Park and may leave your belongings in a bag with your teammate in one of our supplied bags. Your teammate can leave it at the “bag check” area of the start/finish area.
Leg #3 (7.05 miles)
This transfer spot is at Greene St. between Hoover and Hill. Before staging yourself to run, you may want to put your warm, dry clothes in a “bag check” bag and have your leg #2 teammate bring them to Gallup Park for you so they will be there for you when you arrive.
Leg #4 (6.05 miles)
Same as leg #2, but you may want to take a later bus than the 7:50 a.m bus. Your choice!
When you are approaching the finish line, your teammates will join you to the finish where you will all receive your well-deserved medals because there is no “I” in TEAM!
