Ashley and Caren, the co-founders and managers of High5EM, are athletes, entrepreneurs, and event enthusiasts. We have 25+ years of combined experience in the event management industry, specifically in the production and creation of community endurance events.
Having managed 5K’s, fun runs, half marathons, themed events, open water swims, triathlons, snow shoe races and more, we’ve seen first hand the shift in the industry over time. Peoples’ expectations and interests have changed. Now more than ever, more people are signing up for events they may never imagined they’d try, which is why we continue to organize “Out of the Box”, CHALLENGING, FUN, and UNIQUE events for all to enjoy.
Ashley, head of all operations, and race director for all High5EM events, holds certifications with USA Triathlon (USAT) and the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA). Given her years in the industry, she has an acquired skill set that allows her to deliver top notch events week after week. Whether it be a fundraising initiative, an honorary event, a charitable cause, or just a great event idea, Ashley has the toolset to make it happen.
At High5EM, our primary objective in managing events is to provide an experience above and beyond your expectations.
If you have an event that you would like to create and have us manage, reach out to us via the Contact Us page and we’ll setup and initial meeting to discuss all the possibilities of working together.
Best,
Ashley & Caren
