Charlotte does an amazing job with photos and does it out of the goodness of her heart. If you see her at a race give her a big thanks…she deserves it. I know how much time it takes to go through and edit pictures.

Leave a reply
If you’re interested in running some trails Albany Running Exchange is putting on a multi-distance race festival in Thacher Park in Voorheesville, NY. This is an awesome park that I’ve personally only scratched the surface of. Go run some trails and stop by and see Indian Ladder which was amazing. Plus check out the amazing views around the park.

We also couldn’t put on this series without the help of numerous volunteers who help with registration, food prep, water stations, finish lines & sweep. They have our highest gratitude for the time they give to make our races great.
