Meet the team
Jason Martin
Jason enjoys hanging out with his wife and playing music at his church.
His first adventure race was the FIG in 2022 and has been addicted to racing them since.
He has done a few multi day ARs including Expedition Alaska and many shorter ones.
Taylor Larsen
Taylor is a husband, father of 4, loves maps and works in supply chain. So Adventure Racing just made sense!
Taylor’s first race was in 2022 when he signed up for the Shenandoah Epic and has been hooked ever since. He’s done nearly 20 races since then and started race directing in 2025 (East Fork Challenge). His favorite races have been 2024 USARA Nationals and The Hard Fall in Vermont
Karl Nielson
Karl has a beautiful and supportive wife without whom none of these adventure racing shenanigans would be possible. They have 5 great and exuberant kids and 2 dogs who accompany them on their adventures supporting Karl as an occupational medicine physician in the United States Air Force. He’s been with Taylor since before their questionable decision to do a 24 hr race as their first, and looks forward to seeing where it takes them.
