About the Race Directors
Bea Mickelson - Race Director
Bea Mickelson, with the support of her husband Tommy, is the new director of the Lovit 100 for 2025. Bea has an extensive background in trail and ultra running with over 30 ultra races to her resume. She has served the LOViT race since its beginning in 2014 in many capacities, but you may recognize her from her role as captain of the Charlton Aid Station. After being an assistant RD at the 2024 event, this year she will be the one handing you your buckle or medal at the finish!
This is the 2025 race committee, know as the Team LOViT Crew (TLC). They have various specialties they bring to the event in areas of logistics, marketing, course support, purchasing, and most import, they are all experienced ultra runners. They have each completed the LOViT 100 and are there to help you achieve your finish.
