Shoot lots of races and all during the day. I was invited to coved the areas biggest 5k and it started after the sun set. I have never shot at IOS 8000 and above but was forced to that night. Between my R6’s and Lightroom I was able to get usable photos of all finishers and most of my races cover 100 people, over 900 showed up for this. I guess my point of this post is don’t be afraid to shoot higher ISO when necessary. I will drop a few examples below, where there looks like plenty of light it for sure wasn’t.

This one was shot at ISO 25,600. I figured it would not even be usable at all.
