We have a great team to capture the 2025 Quad Cities Marathon in photographs. In alphabetical order we have:

Leslie Brose

Larry Engstrom
This is Larry's eighth year capturing the Quad Cities Marathon as part of the official team. I'm sure he has done a few more before 2018 as well. Larry has also captured many of UTHS running events over the years and will be capturing lots of the weekend's festivities. Larry will be capturing runners coming down the ramp into Moline from the Rock Island Arsenal.

Ryan Gaines
Ryan is a sports photographer that typically captures images on the Rock Island Arsenal with his daughter Isla. This year he'll be limited to Saturday events photos as he has a Sunday conflict. This is Ryan's fourth year on our team.

Erin Gehn
Erin lives in Rock Island and is shooting aerial pictures from the Arsenal Bridge. This is her third year volunteering.

Andy Heeb

Don Henderson
This is Don's eighth year as a member of the Quad Cities Marathon Photography Team, back after a one year sabbatical last year. Welcome back Don! Don typically shoots along Ben Butterworth Parkway and historically did photos at "The Wall" when it was located there. This year he'll be our shooter on the Rock Island Arsenal.

JR Howell
I've been shooting the Quad Cities Marathon since 2012 and have had the honor of leading the photography team since 2016. I typically shoot at the Start Finish Line, but I also set up videos of the Start and this year a Live Feed of the finish. I also handle most of the other shooting assignments outside of race weekend.

Erling Larson
This is Erling Larson's eighth year shooting the Quad Cities Marathon as part of the Photography Team. He started in 2017 and missed the COVID year 2020. Erling typically shoots the start from the overpass at the Moline viaduct to the Arsenal and the Finish line. He also shoots events on Saturday of race weekend.

David McDanel

Tom Moye
This is Tom's fifth year shooting the Quad Cities Marathon after shooting in 2019. Tom plans to shoot around Leach Park in Bettendorf this year.

John Oros

Phil Pancrazio

Mark Stegmaier
Mark is a long standing member of the Quad Cities running community and this will be his seventh year shooting the Quad Cities Marathon as part of the official team.

Darrell Terronez
This is Darrell's seventh year shooting for the Quad Cities Marathon. You'll also see his shots for other races in East Moline like the Freedom and Firecracker Runs.

Mark VandeWiele
Mark is a retired judge that took up photography in his retirement. I found him shooting the UTHS Panther Pant and convinced him to join our team. This is his fourth year shooting the Quad Cities Marathon. He'll be capturing images as the runners cross the I74 bridge.

Dave Weiss
Dave Weiss is a retired portrait and wedding photographer and videographer. After spending 3.5 years touring America in a Class-A RV with his wife and dog, he has just recently settled down in our area and offered to join our team. He joins us this year for his second year.

Leanne Wildermuth
This is Leanne's ninth year shooting for our Quad Cities Marathon Team. She specializes in runners "jumping" for their pictures. I'm not sure if it's joy or delusion … she has historically done photos around John O'Donnell Stadium (Modern Woodmen Park) and will be shooting around the Centennial Bridge this year.

We plan to have thousands of photos of participants and the events surrounding the Quad Cities Marathon weekend. I hope we capture everyone that participates. These will be available sometime the week following the race as free digital downloads and will be searchable by Bib Number.

We have a great team to capture a great event.
