Dark and Dirty Trail Race
2026
Hey Fireflies!
As you were arriving, I was hiking out to the ridge to watch the sun set and see you all enter the trails when the race started.
I knew I was going to start photographing you on Wild Turkey, but wow, you got there fast!
I ran with a few of you to the rock pile on Pioneer Ridge. Then the forest went silent and filled with fireflies while I waited for the 14K's to come back through.
This year's photos were especially challenging... and inspired new ideas to try at Shenanigans.
Download, share, tag.
Enjoy!
See you at the next Happy Hour :)
