PHOTOS and MEDIA

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!

Special thanks to all those who helped produce this event.

• We can't thank enough the SAR Board members who spent hours on race morning, included President Caroline Gardiner, Treasurer Dave Dixon, and Kurt Michels (and Kurt's wife Ashley!!). Special thanks to the SAR Board for doing so much to make our running community better!
• Thanks to SAR's Lucas Tyler for all the behind the scenes effort and counsel
• Special thanks to Noemi Mills and to Steve Moore for their volunteer enthusiasm/
• As always, the Workout Group came out in force -- thanks to the WOG community for pitching in so often and with such passion
• Also as always, Greg Wenneborg did a great job with all the timing -- special thanks to his son Grant Wenneborg for joining Greg early in the morning and doing so much work to ensure that the timing worked smoothly.
• Speaking of teenage help, thanks to our son Aric for being the lead bike rider

John Ward has become our go-to course manager -- we're super happy that he is joining our event day team!

Finally, special thanks to Sharon Bart and the crew at The Running Shop. They do so much for these events, whether hosting packet pickup, providing awards, or hosting post-race pickup, the Running Shop is a big part of everything.

We are so appreciative for a whole host of others who woke up early and made the whole thing happen. Here is a list of all the names on our volunteer roster -- if you see names multiple times it's because they signed up for multiple slots! I'm sure there's more, so I'm sorry to those we missed!

As the second leg of the 2023 Gabe Zimmerman Triple Crown honoring the slain civil servant, Gabe Zimmerman, the event expects to raise over $12,000 for local organizations.

Special thanks to Ross Zimmerman and Pam Golden (above) and the entire Zimmerman family for allowing us to honor Gabe through these events. Supported by funding from Tucson Medical Center, Cox Communications, and participants, the events provide funding for the following organizations:

BEYOND Tucson Foundation: Following the tragic shooting on the morning of January 8, 2011 in Tucson, Arizona at Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords’ “Congress On Your Corner,” the Southern Arizona community spontaneously came together to honor, remember, and show solidarity for those that were killed, injured, or traumatized by the event. Along with its partners, BEYOND provides year-round opportunities for the public to participate in a series of healthy activities and to learn more about the scientific research that shows methods for optimal physical and mental health.
