4th Annual Bobcat Bolt & Oyster River Festival Photos

Thanks to everyone who came out on Saturday for the 4th Annual Bobcat Bolt! What an incredible day!

A very special thanks to all of our platinum and gold level sponsors who really helped make the day possible. Take a minute to check out some of their websites here and please consider them if you need services or products. There are great people behind all of these companies in the Seacoast, NH area. We highly recommend them!
Khol’s, Undertow/Super 7, Core Pediatrics of Core Physicians, The Gault Family, Gault Builders, Masiello Group/Farag Family, Durham Marketplace, Bugaboo Creek Steak House Isles of Shoals Steamship Co, Federal Savings, Direct Capital, Minuteman Painters, Great Bay Rotary, RockHouse Media, Weathervane and Timberline Signs.

Nate would have been especially proud to see a military presence among the volunteers. This included LSC Daniel L Field PNS SM HQ and MAC (EXW/AW), Steven E Wagner NMCB-27 from the Chief’s Mess at Navy Operational Support Center, Manchester. They worked the registration tables. Sea Cadet CPO Zachary J Letourneau, USNSCC - Monadnock Squadron was the greeter at registration. The UNH Wildcat ROTC Battalion was well represented by commanding officer Maj. Joshua Stringer, SFC Jose Caraballo and numerous cadets who did all the work of moving tables and chairs to set up the field and the finish area. We thank them all for their service to the Bolt and to us all.

And to all the other donors & sponsors, the volunteers, our dedicated board of directors, Oyster River High School and custodial staff, the Town of Durham, the Hardy family, and everyone else who contributes to making this event such a special day - THANK YOU!

Darren Miller delivered amazing photos of the event as usual. We will be posting more as they come in.

A Photographer’s Point-of-View on the Bobcat Bolt 5K/10K

I’ve been photographing the Bobcat Bolt since it’s inception in 2009.

Runners ready...

Runners ready...

It is one of the more fun and loving events I cover all year. There’s a special feeling in the air. It’s beautiful to see our community of classmates and their families come together to organize and participate in this great road race. The course takes a gorgeous tour through Durham and out into the countryside as well, with volunteers at the aid stations making sure the tired runners feel supported with water, encouragement and laughter.

Oyster River Festival

There’s lots of interesting vending and a silent auction, with one lively musical performance after another, from the school orchestra to rock bands to renowned folk trios. There are fun-runs for the children and other games… potato bag races, face painting and story telling by Sean Middleton. The afternoon is relaxed and fun on the grass and in the sun.

The Bobcat Bolt is not complete until you come for a discounted evening cruise up the Pisquataqua River with the Isles of Shoals Steamship Co. Jim Devlin Band band plays foot-kickin’ hits all night long while a slideshow of the photos from the day play behind them. Take a stroll on the upper decks and watch the sunset and feel great after a long day of healthy exercise, great community and awesome music and entertainment. Last year there was a fire-dance performance on the docks at the end of the cruise!

All of this happens in the celebration for life and to raise funds for local youth initiatives and scholarships in the name of Josh and Nate Hardy. Come join in the fun and bring the family for one of the best community days of the year!
