Girls On The Run – Race Day!

Wow wow WOW!!!! The Girls On The Run WonderGirl 5K at Hains Point in Washington, DC yesterday was AWESOME! Incredible to watch. Incredible to be a part of. Just seeing the faces of the girls as they came across the finish line was inspiring. Some of the girls finished the race in under 40 minutes…I am lucky if I can run a mile in that time. This has to be one of the coolest things I have ever been a part of.

It was a blast to photograph. I really felt like a photographer with my two cameras dangling off my neck. The highlight for me was hanging out of a car window with approximately $10k worth of camera equipment, while a volunteer drove me so I could capture images on the race route. Crazy! What were we thinking? Maybe not one of my brighter moves…but sometimes you have to do what you have to do to get the shot.

Here are a few highlights.




Edited 12/2/08: I was asked back to photograph the GOTR Race on December 7, 2008.  Subscribe or bookmark my blog to be notifed for the hights of the December 7th race!
