DAMION ALEXANDER PHOTOS: One of our event sponsors and good friends is Long Realty's Damion Alexander. Check out this awesome video from Damion: he spent all morning on his bike, then all of Sunday evening putting it together -- it's a lot of fun...Check out all of Damion's photos at The Tucson Photographer smugmug account.

(We are super grateful to Damion for all of his efforts on behalf of the endurance community -- not only does he spend hours on the bike at our races, but he then spends hours at the computer fixing and fiddling with the photos. On top of that, he is a bike volunteer at Sabino Canyon and El Tour.)

JOHN HARRIS PHOTOS: On the TMC Tucson 10k race registration page you can check out the photos put together by John Harris. John is a student at the UArizona and an assistant Cross Country Coach at Salpointe, where he was a standout runner. He's developed a keen eye for running photography and we're delighted to have him on our team!
