Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry (or two or three!) to our summer photo contest. It is so much fun to see what everyone has been up to – UVRC certainly gets around! We had photos from all over the country and world, and a few from right here in our beautiful backyard. Our winners are posted below. And if your photo is included in the winner selection below, email uppervalleyrunningclub@gmail.com with your shirt size, and we’ll track you down to give you a UVRC shirt!
Furthest Distance Traveled – this one was a tie, because these were both big trips! Jimmy Wu got his heat training in running through Da’an Park in Taipei, Taiwan, while Trang Le visited the Great Wall in China.

Best Photo Featuring a Cute Critter – While it was a bit of a let-down that no one submitted a dog picture (I really feel like we let RJ down with that!) it’s a good thing that Helene Sisti captured this adorable bird on Mt. Willey in the Whites.
