Top of Utah Half Marathon 2010

I had the pleasure of photographing the Top of Utah Half Marathon today.

The 13 mile race started in Blacksmith Fork Canyon and the power plant and finished at Zollinger Park in Providence Utah. Zazoosh was there photographing the event as well. The weather was perfect, a bit overcast and a nice cooler but comfortable temps. The races started at 7:00 AM and many front runners crossed the finish line by 9:00 AM with the bulk of the runners crossing later. The race photos of the runner turned out great with many showing a high level of exhaustion and emotion!

Highlight photos will be posted soon here and the complete collection for viewing and purchase will be posted soon on http://www.brackenberger.zenfolio.com/
