With leaf-peeping season at its peak on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and over a half-dozen check-points along the nearly 18-mile course, the Shut In Ridge Run has to be considered one of the most spectator-friendly trail races in the country.
This event has always been a favorite for photographers. With beautiful scenery, great racing, and the opportunity to capture start-line jitters and finish-line emotion, there is a lot to see. We were lucky to have our very own Ashley Arnold out on the course during this year’s race. Check out her photos below.
