We love seeing these images shared. They’re part of the story of Homegrown — the grit, the people, the town, the miles.

Our photographers are professionals who give their time, talent, and long dusty days to document this event the right way. Respecting their work ensures they’ll keep coming back and keep raising the bar year after year.

Please take a moment to read the usage guidelines below before downloading or sharing images.

2026 Photography

You showed up. You rode hard. You got dusty.

Now go find yourself.

Based on your feedback from last year’s survey, we’ve simplified everything. All 2026 images are organized into clear, easy-to-search buckets so you can spend less time digging and more time reliving the day.

We only work with the best. Every photographer shooting Homegrown is a true professional. They give up long days (and usually very dusty cameras) to capture this event the right way — the grit, the chaos, the finish line emotion.

If you share a photo on social media, please tag the photographer and @homegrowngravel. The more love you give them, the more likely they are to keep coming back year after year.

When you download an image, the photographer’s name is included in the file name.

Please and thank you.
