Instagram

 


We are new to Instagram and are very excited to provide photos from recent racing events of all those that participated or supported the participants. So if you were at the race then you are likely up there in all your racing glory along with your supporting groups. Just do your camera thing on the QR code above and check out your photos. As always we are a free site, no sponsor affiliation, no ads, and no hidden agenda. We are just here to keep the running community informed, have some fun, and promote runners everywhere. Enjoy. 


Thank you from your support team, Runners without Borders, Walt, El Contra, Maria Elena, Alisha, Andres and Julian. As you can see below one of our team is beyond ecstatic about the new Instagram feed.

Or just after the race the kind soul that helps you open that water bottle top that seems to have been sealed at the factory by the Terminator, when you can barely blink let alone twist off that top.  Duri...
