Check these recaps and photo summaries with links to external and runner albums from race years 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008. Selected photos and thumbnails are below.

Our photo philosophy: We bring together a group of volunteer photographers who enjoy capturing the day in pictures. This special group gives their time and expertise to the runners who are encouraged to download, print, and post to facebook their favorite photos from the day. We are not interested in charging for the photos like some events do — Our photographers provide this free and clear for personal use only. If you want to use one of these photos in a business or in a publication, please get in touch so we can put you directly in touch with our photographer.
