About Us

HopeandBenji

Hi! Thanks for stopping by and checking us out. We are Benji and Hope Jones, and we began directing, managing, and timing events in 2007. We started with a few local 5Ks and 10Ks, and then began producing and timing triathlons in 2008. Our calendar makeup has evolved throughout the years, with our events these days mostly consisting of running events. A few triathlons are still sprinkled in the mix for good fun.

We have two kids who were babies when we started this business but are now off to college. Occasionally you’ll see them out at events where they get to hear everyone tell them how much they’ve grown.

Originally from Louisiana, we were both Division 1 college athletes. Benji ran track and cross country, with the 800m being his main event, and I (Hope) played soccer. Benji actually produced his first event, a duathlon, while in graduate school in Louisiana and that is where the passion for event production was born. I, of course, had no idea that his passion would turn into my passion, otherwise it’s possible we would have saved a large amount of money on student loans, as we moved to North Carolina in 2004 for me to attend graduate school.

Serving people and providing a great experience that will stay with our athletes and organizers forever are reasons we do what we do. We treasure our relationships with our event organizers and truly enjoy being a part of so many events that give back to the community, special causes, and the athletes. We show up, create the experience, then the experience leaves with each person.

If you are looking for help with your event, reach out to us and we’d be happy to see what we can do for you.
