Team Highlig h t https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dirtbags/370140323097114 "If you want to run fast run alone, If you want to go far, go together" by far, but the rush of completing something a year ago that seemed impossible was all it took to spark a fire that had to be shared with others. Over the course of a year the team has grown to eight. What started out as a group of friends running in mud races, having fun turned into an inspiring journey that never ceases to amaze us. Each race creating Orange Shirts, Beards, Outspoken, loud, more and more friendships, overcoming obstacles, welcoming smiles, nothing short of crazy, are all inspiring others to keep moving, and forging on as a words we have heard our fellow racers, friends, team.  and family describe us. We just consider ourselves family, teammates, and of course Dirtbags. Most people recognize us by our trademark shirts as we go by them, looking up, only to read “Just Passed Your Ass” on the back of our shirts. Cocky, over confident, some may think but in reality we are the complete opposite. A team of eight looking to motivate all kinds to get off the coach, enjoy life and challenge yourself in ways you never thought possible   The Team was founded and Created by Matthew Tallent in the Spring of 2012 at the Spartan Sprint in Conyers Ga . There him and Kathleen Ramirez competed and finished the race. Not in first place or To know the team, you would have to know us individually.  Matthew Tallent,
