25 years!!! That's how long the Pocatello Marathon has been going strong, and Gate City Sports is so proud to be part of this incredible event. Thank you to all of the runners and volunteers who make this one of the premier marathons in the country, and congratulations to all who qualified for Boston!!! From the quiet solitude of the first marathon runner coming through at mile 6, the ongoing gun show along the route, Lowell Hawkes and his rambunctious antics, and the absolute joy at the finish line, our 3 photographers worked to capture every emotion and took over 12,000 photos! We've whittled them down to our favorites and all digital downloads are free to our racers - yep, that's right, I said free!!! If you use any of the pics on social media or in print, please give photo cred to marymcaleesephotos.com - Here is the link to your pics https://www.flashframe.io/search/2759/

Another Pocatello Marathon in the books!!! I love shooting this event and meeting so many incredible runners. This year, at mile 5 at 7:00 in the morning, when it was a brisk 38 degrees I was amazed to see these two 7th graders coming down the road! They were having a great time at mile 5 and evidently, they had a great Marathon!!! Well done, fellas!!!

Family photos in the Fall are the best...especially when you get to shoot in a beautiful setting like Salmon, ID. Loved meeting this terrific family and capturing some special moments for them.

One of the things I love about the Pocatello Marathon is being involved with a bunch of very special people who make the whole thing happen. Thanks to Mike Calley and his whole family for so many years of dedication to this event...and congrats to George Calley on another finish!

Last night I deleted another 50,000 photos and then I had an idea...the Idaho Food Bank is one of my favorite charities. Although we've never had to turn there for assistance, there were times when it was close. No child, no family, and no person should ever be hungry in America so....every day I will post a new collection of photos from the past. Most are sports photos, but some are other events. They will only be available until Christmas so share, share, share!!! This is your last chance to relive the glory days with photos from Gate City Sports! Every penny will be donated to the Idaho Food Bank. If you would like to purchase an entire album, simply call me at 208-604-0123. Highland Rams - here is your game against Madison from 2014!
