Trevor McQuay holding his juggling balls in Nebraska

Trevor McQuay · The Joggler · Wausa, Nebraska

I run marathons.
While juggling.

Yep, all three balls. I’m Trevor, a husband, dad and filmmaker who also does this. It’s a little ridiculous. I’m okay with that.

Yes, there’s a name for it

Running + juggling.
That’s joggling.

Most days, I’m working with our team at Fox Brush Films. Outside of that, I run. And somewhere along the way, running with three balls became a thing I do.

I’ve juggled two full marathons. I like the challenge, and I like that it gives people something to smile about. You don’t have to be a runner to get a kick out of it.

And running shoes.
Definitely running shoes.

52.4 miles is the distance of those two marathons, not my total training mileage.

Sponsorships

Want your business
to come along?

Race entries, shoes and getting to events all cost money. Sponsors help with that. In return, we can work out a way to feature your business that makes sense for both of us.

Community supporter

Starting at$250

Help with a race entry, shoes or other running costs. We’ll talk through how to recognize your support before you commit.

Ask about supporting

Race partner

Starting at$750

Have a particular race or event in mind? Let’s look at the date, travel and what you’d like me to do while I’m there.

Tell me about the race

Annual partner

Starting at$1,500

Support more of the training and racing throughout the year. We’ll agree on the appearances, placements and content in writing.

Talk about the year

There’s room beyond the jersey.

As sponsorship goals are met, we can look at adding shoulder placements, headbands, wristbands, custom socks and even custom juggling balls. Yes, your logo could be on the thing I’m trying not to drop.

These are possibilities to plan together, not items included in every level. We’ll confirm availability, production costs, race rules and where your branding will appear before anything is made.

Starting contributions aren’t fixed packages. Travel, extra appearances, dedicated photo/video production and a 200-mile attempt may need a separate budget. We’ll agree on what I’ll provide. I can’t guarantee views, news coverage or a race finish.

Thanks for backing this.

I appreciate the people and businesses who help me keep doing it. Take a look at what they do, too.

A possible 2028 goal · Not a confirmed entry

So… 200 miles?

I’m looking into running a 200-mile ultramarathon while juggling. That could mean around four days out there. Before I get ahead of myself, there’s a lot to figure out: training, race rules, a crew and the budget.

Our Fox Brush Films team did some filming around the Cowboy 200 in 2026, and we’re working toward more coverage and a mini documentary in 2027. Being around it made me want to explore an attempt myself.

I haven’t confirmed a race, date or entry. If your business wants to help me work toward it, I’d love to talk.

Race invitations + sponsor questions

Where should
I run next?

Got a local 5K? A marathon you think I should try? Or a business that wants to get involved? Send me a little about it.

This starts a conversation, not a booking. I’ll need to check the date, organizer’s permission, travel and training before saying yes.

Send me the basics.

For a race: the name, date, city, distance and a link are a great start. 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, relay or ultra. Send it over. For sponsorship: tell me about your business, what you’re interested in and how to reach you.

Or write directly to trevor.mcquay@foxbrushfilms.co.

Do I have to be the race organizer to suggest a race?

No. Send me the event name and a link. If we decide to pursue it, I’ll still need to check with the organizer about juggling on the course.

What does a sponsorship include?

We decide that together. It might include a webpage mention, a jersey placement or agreed photo/video content. Shoulder placements and custom headbands, wristbands, socks or juggling balls are additional ideas as support grows. Your agreement lists what’s included and when.

Does an annual partnership include every race?

No. We’ll agree on a realistic race or appearance schedule and what happens if plans change. The starting amount doesn’t cover unlimited events.

Will my logo be in every photograph or video?

Not necessarily. Weather, race rules and camera angles can affect what’s visible. I’ll be clear about the placements and content I can commit to instead of promising exposure I can’t control.

Also, I do have a day job

Here’s what our
film team makes.

Joggling is one part of my life. Fox Brush Films is another. If you came here for the running and also happen to need photo or video, here’s a look.

It Takes a Village

A film for Wausa Communities for Kids, featuring the people working on childcare in our hometown.

Their wedding trailer from Venue 5 Twenty-Two in Lincoln, Nebraska.

See you out there.

Follow the runs, send me a race, or just say hi if you see the guy with three balls.

Yes, this is a real thing.

Yes, I run while juggling.

200 miles. Three balls. A possible 2028 adventure.

Okay, this one might be a little ridiculous. I’m exploring a potential 200-mile juggling ultramarathon in 2028, and I’d love to talk with sponsors who want to help make it possible. The race, route and logistics are not confirmed yet. If you’re curious, let’s talk about the idea.

Yes, I actually run like this.

I’m Trevor McQuay, the person behind Fox Brush Films in Wausa, Nebraska. Husband, dad, filmmaker and, for reasons that made perfect sense at the time, a joggler.

That means running while juggling three balls. So far, two full marathons and 52.4 race miles. Apparently running 26.2 miles was not inconvenient enough.

It is absolutely a dorky thing to do. That is part of the fun. People smile, somebody inevitably asks if I drop them, and we all have something a little different to talk about.

Someone wrote about it, too.

The Omaha Running Club featured my juggling marathon in its Fall 2022 newsletter. Read the Heartland Marathon story, pages 2 and 3 (PDF).

Have a race in mind? Send me your local 5K, half marathon, marathon or ultramarathon. We’ll talk through the date, distance, organizer approval, travel and training before committing.

PARTNERS KEEPING THE JOGGLER MOVING

This is already a goofy hobby. It does not need to be entirely self-funded. If a generous business, organization or person wants to help, I am perfectly happy to let them plaster a logo on me.

It is hard not to look when somebody runs by juggling three balls. If people look at me, they also see the brands and groups supporting it.

I like running while juggling. Businesses like people seeing their names. It works out pretty well.


ANNUAL GOLD PARTNERS

These are the current Gold Partners helping keep the joggler moving this year.


LIFE RUNNERS

LIFE Runners is the world’s largest Pro-Life team, carrying its “REMEMBER The Unborn” message through races and communities around the world. Running is optional. Apparently joggling is optional too.

FOX BRUSH FILMS

Fox Brush Films is the Nebraska photo and video company I founded. Weddings are our specialty and the biggest thing you will see on our website, but our Wausa team also creates commercial films, senior photos, headshots, real estate photography and video, livestreams and real 8mm films. We can help take a project from the first rough idea through planning, storyboarding, filming and editing.

MCQUAY CONSTRUCTION

McQuay Construction is there for your home, garage and shed needs across Northeast Nebraska, from residential projects to commercial buildings. They build useful things. I make running needlessly complicated. It balances out.

MCQUAY PROPERTIES

McQuay Properties provides homes, storage and U-Haul rentals around Wausa and the surrounding area. Useful, local and practical. Three words nobody has ever used to describe a juggling marathon.

WHAT’S MORE INTERESTING THAN A MAN JUGGLING WHILE RUNNING?

A lot of things, probably. But feel free to sponsor me anyway.

If that strange little arrangement sounds useful for your business or group, reach out.

There are several annual partnership levels, along with custom opportunities for specific races, events and ideas. I am keeping the full tier details off this page because every partnership can look a little different.

If you are interested, reach out and I will send you the current annual partnership options. We can talk through the available levels and figure out whether one makes sense.

WHAT I CAN HONESTLY PROMISE

I will make a real effort to wear and tag current sponsor branding in training, race-day and social content whenever it makes sense.

I will not promise that every post, run or appearance will show every sponsor. Sometimes race rules, weather, laundry or the wrong shirt wins. Sometimes I am simply forgetful. Sometimes I forget to post anything at all. I would rather say that now than pretend I am a flawless brand ambassador. I am not.

What I will promise is that every guaranteed webpage placement, jersey placement and planned piece of sponsor content will be written down clearly before we begin. Anything beyond that is honest, best-effort exposure as the training and races happen.

Have a specific race or event you want the joggler at? Send it my way.

That could be a 5K, 10K, half marathon, full marathon, ultra, relay or the run leg of a triathlon. For obvious reasons, I will not be juggling during the swimming or biking parts. I make questionable decisions, but I do have limits.

Depending on the date, location, travel, race-organizer approval, training time and sponsorship amount, we will see what we can make happen.

A requested race appearance, travel requirement or dedicated Fox Brush Films commercial production may need its own custom plan beyond an annual partnership.

Interested? Email me directly at trevor.mcquay@foxbrushfilms.co.

All in-house. All made by our Nebraska team.

A FEW THINGS WE’VE BEEN JUGGLING LATELY


COMMERCIAL FILM: WAUSA COMMUNITIES FOR KIDS

One of my favorite recent commercial and community projects. We interviewed parents, childcare providers and local leaders, then built the film around the people actually doing the work in Wausa. Real voices, real places and no corporate script trying to sound human.


WEDDING FILM: KYLIE + CHASE

Kylie and Chase built Venue 5 Twenty-Two, then trusted our in-house Nebraska team to film their own wedding there. This trailer is one of my favorite examples of what happens when the people, place, audio and visuals all get to tell the same story.


WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: GRACE + ALEX

For Grace and Alex’s downtown Omaha wedding, we had two photographers and three videographers moving between the Hilton Omaha, the Gerald R. Ford Birthsite and The Diamond Room. Here is the photography side of everything that team captured.
