For the second year in a row, I volunteered to photograph the Dirty Spokes Thrill in the Hills 50K -- my favorite ultramarathon in Georgia. Ultramarathons are relatively rare in the state, and this event brings together a dedicated community of runners willing to spend hours navigating forest trails, hills, and unpredictable winter weather.

Dive into the behind-the-scenes action, from the heartfelt preparations to the impactful outcomes, in this exclusive festival recap.
