Two Classics

In the past two weeks, I've had a great time taking photos at two more trail races in the Western Massachusetts Athletic Club's Grand Tree Trail Race series: the Monroe Dunbar Brook Trail Race and the Mt. Toby Trail Run (I wrote brief race reports after running each last year, Monroe-Dunbar here and Mt. Toby here). I didn't get to actually run either this year, but it was still fun to be a part of them by being out on the course on gorgeous fall days. Plus Jen ran Monroe Dunbar, which was a fantastic accomplishment for her, especially considering that she'd never run any race ever prior to doing the 2-mile version a year ago. Here's a very brief sampling of shots, and full photo galleries are up at Northeast Race Photo.
