At Finish Line Productions we are committed to creating events where every athlete can be challenged and have fun. Our events include running, triathlon, duathlon, and training camps. Our events won't be huge, but we hope you will walk away saying that they are some of the best events around.
As an event company we value and appreciate your feedback so please let us know what you think and what we can do to improve our events, or give us suggestions for new events and locations.
It doesn't matter if this is your first race, or your 50th. Your experience should be one that you remember as one of your best. That's our commitment to you - fun, challenge, safety, great event locations and a professional attitude.
Santa Cruz is a great place to come and race - check it out!
Who's Who at FLP
Tim and Penni Bengtson
After years of commuting from Boulder Creek to Silicon Valley it was time to pull the plug and do something we felt passionate about -- having our own business! So we started Finish Line Productions to bring new races and event management services to the Santa Cruz and Northern California area. This experience has brought us into contact with a lot of awesome people - both athletes and race directors.
Tim is an electrical engineer and private pilot whose attention to detail enables us to have one of the most reliable race timing systems available today.
Penni is an Ironman triathlete and runner, a Certified USAT Race Director and Coach.
Mary Zavanelli
When Mary isn't teaching at UCSC or training for an Ironman she's usually seen around transition or registration taking charge and keeping things organized.
Timing and Registration Crew
Dave and Kathy Dierking
Dave and Kathy are an integral part of our timing team - from making sure the runners are getting the right chips to ensuring that they get through the right split points.
Stephanie McCabe and Angela Flynn
Steph and Angie keep registration at our events moving along smoothly. Angie also serves as the run course coordinator for our events and can always be found making sure that aid stations are set up and that volunteers are in place.
Alec Bethell and Jeff Smith
You'll always find Alec and Jeff at the finish line - directing athletes to the finish area, managing chip retrieval, and sending out "Tweets" and race updates.
Volunteers and Community Outreach
Stacy Lawrence
Stacy is our volunteer coordinator who makes sure that we have the best volunteers and good community relations for each of our produced events. We are always committed to giving back to the communities where we produce events, and organization who come out to volunteer are always welcome and recognized.
