James Varner, Race Director and Owner of Rainshadow Running, and the founder of The Trail Running Film Festival, has been running trail ultras since 2001 and organizing races since 2004. His approach to directing races comes from the idea that he is throwing a party for friends that just happens to involve a little running. The settings he picks for Rainshadow races feature some of the most visually stunning scenery in the United States.
James enjoys trail running for the solace and simplicity, for the excitement and the beauty, for the challenge and confidence, for the lessons he's learned about himself and the world itself, and for the places he runs and the people he meets.
