I was in Emporia primarily to support two friends racing in the 100-mile event. Photography wasn’t my main goal for the weekend — but I still managed to capture some amazing moments along the course.

While I didn’t catch every rider (as much as I wish I could have), I did organize everything into easy-to-browse galleries to help you find yourself.

📂 What’s in the Galleries?

Here’s a breakdown of where and what I shot:

Friday

  • XL Starting Line – Riders heading out for the ultra challenge.

Saturday Race Day

  • Elite Men Start – Their own gallery.
  • Elite Women Start – Also separate for easy browsing.
  • 100-Mile Start – Pre-race energy and anticipation.
  • 50-Mile Junior Start – Young riders rolling out.
  • XL Finishers (First Two) – Rob Britton and Lachlan Morton, Early arrivals at the finish line.
  • Council Grove Checkpoint (Mile 54)
    • Two galleries by time – 100-Mile riders only.
    • I was shooting here until my friends came through, then switched to support mode.
  • South of Lake Kahola
    • Four time-based galleries.
    • Mostly 100-Mile riders.
    • Many of the top 30 Elite Men from the 200-Mile race.
    • A few XL and 50-Mile riders as well.

I was out near Kahola for about 90 minutes. My main camera time was during the lull between support tasks, so if you were racing through there mid-day, you might spot yourself.

Find Your Photos By Your Race Number

When viewing the gallery page you can use the embeded search box on the page, type in your race/bib number, if I tagged your photos with the number they should be found. I have to manually tag photos, I tagged all the photos from the various locations I was shooting on course (not the starts) where I could read and identify bib numbers.
