The 24 Hours of Great Glen

An awesome combination of ingredients at the 24 Hours of Great Glen last weekend! What luck to have the sun setting just then for this awesome sun star. Megaphone man had two bluetooth speakers pumping out house music on each side of the trail. It was pretty swell!

On another note... All the photos are uploaded! Check out the gallery here and thanks to those of you kind enough to make a purchase!

Newton's Revenge Bicycle Race to the top of Mt. Washington

Here are a handful of my favorite images from photographing Newton's Revenge.  Truth be told it was my first time photographing a bike race and it was great fun!  The 2015 Newton’s Revenge Bicycle Race was held on July 11, 2015. The race is a 7.6 mile bicycle race up the Mt. Washington Auto Road. Eric Follen was this year's overall winner and Stephanie Wetzel was the women's champion. You can see the full results here:  http://www.coolrunning.com/results/15/nh/Jul11_Newton_1_set1.shtml.

The Gate City Marathon

I had such a great time photographing the first ever Gate City Marathon in Nashua, NH last week!  The organizers did a fantastic job of putting this event together.   There were so organized and designed a really cool course that looped through the City.  Thanks to Michael Wade for recruiting me to photograph the race.  I was so glad to be able to document it!  Congratulations to Kevin McIntyre and Yuki Chorney on their individual wins and the Fleet Feet Sports Junior Elite team on taking first in the relay!

As always, you can find more images at www.joeviger.com.  The direct link to the race gallery is here.   Without further adieu... here are a few highlights!
