Due to the large number of participants, you will not be able to stop at home plate to take your own personal photos. However, we will have professional photographers, who will be taking pictures of walkers/runners as they cross home plate. You may purchase these photographs from them after the event. To be notified when pictures will be ready, you may sign up here. Please leave the bib number field empty.
