Welcome to the Drifty Fam!!
It’s almost our 1st birthday!! So we thought we would reintroduce ourselves and our races over the next couple of weeks as our new Drifty family members may not know us! We are Rickey and Kelly, the brains and beauty behind Driftless Endurance (we’ll let you be the judge on who is who). We both grew up in Wisconsin and have called Middleton our home for the past few years. We enjoy camping, spending time with our two lively GSPs, and surrounding ourselves with the sights, sounds, and smells of nature.
We started Driftless Endurance to provide experiences for individuals who are looking to challenge themselves while also promoting connection to the vast and beautiful resources throughout the Driftless Area of Wisconsin. We believe that Rickey’s passion for trail/ultra running and background in race directing, combined with Kelly’s sociable personality and respect of the outdoors, will bring fun and exciting events to ultimately give back to the community that we love.
Just a couple of crazy kids adventuring on the path of life.
