Sandra Sawyer

Sandra Sawyer is an Obstacle Course Racing World Championships trailblazer who traveled the world as its Partnerships Director — and unofficial goodwill ambassador — for nearly a decade. With her trademark smile, boundless energy and incredible connections, she cultivated sponsorships with brand giants Red Bull, Inov-8, VJ Shoes, MudGear, LegendBorne, Wreck Bag, Akuma Sports and Veloforte, just to name a few, and managed entire festival areas, working closely with race partners and sponsors to ensure that everyone had a world-class experience.

She has a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, with a focus on child development and family relations, and has 20 years of sales and marketing experience that has included partnerships with some of the biggest names in the industry, including, but not limited to, Amazon, Ragnar Relay Series, Disney and UFC fighter Justin “J-Bomb” Salas.

Sandra enjoys boating and waterskiing with her family, trail running and hiking with her two Labrador retrievers, obstacle course racing and spending time at the ocean, and is passionate about making a difference in her community. She participates in the Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis fundraising walk every year to help foster awareness about and further research for these debilitating conditions, and continues to volunteer in the community with organizations that ensure youth sports are accessible to all children.

One of her favorite mottos is “Dream, achieve, inspire,” and she works hard to bring those words to life as Neighborhood Ninjas’ Partnership and Outreach Director.
