Episode 23 – Zach Hetrick (Live at the NYRR Run Center)

Zach Hetrick is the co-founder of Sprint Step, Inc, which is a content creation agency that specializes in photo storytelling and event recaps. He is undoubtedly one of the city’s best sports photographers who has done work for major sportswear companies but is also rooted in capturing some of the best images of everyday New York City runners. At the same time, he does some impressive running of his own (many times with a camera in his hands). Aside from maybe seeing his work on Instagram or his handle in photo credits, not too many people know Zach’s story which goes back to Fort Wayne, Indiana. We’re here to bring it to you. We'll dive into his past to learn where he picked up his quick instincts, speed and practice as a photographer and runner. Plus, he’ll share what he’s learned from shooting and being up close with the likes of world record holder Eliud Kipchoge, New York City Marathon champion Shalane Flanagan, Boston/New York and silver medal winner Meb Keflezighi and more.
