History was made at Markham Park in Sunrise, FL, as the leading athletes crossed the finish line in under 16 minutes.

Race photography isn't just about capturing motion - it's about freezing moments of pure emotion in time. Through my camera, each frame tells a story: nervous excitement at the starting line and pure elation at the finish. The special 2025 backdrop became a focal point of joy, where smiles and laughter warmed the chilly morning air as runners posed for their pre-race photos.
Each runner carried their own story, from those chasing personal records to those taking their first steps into the racing world. Through my camera, I witnessed their determination at the start and their triumph at the finish as they completed their journey.
From my position at the finish line, I captured the pure joy and relief as runners completed their 5K journey. Some sprinted across with arms raised high, while others simply smiled with satisfaction at achieving their goal. Each finish told its own unique story of personal victory.
