The 2024 Southampton Race gallery is now live ! and so is Cowdray Spring "run the seasons" trail run, and Brentwood was last week (sorry I didn't post a blog - but I knew the organisers had emailed you all). Nobody caught up with the first prize up again this year. The rules are if you can touch the lead car you get to win it.... nobody has done it yet !  The event season has got itself going in a big way this year - it seems as if we're back to about 90% of the pre-covid runner volumes, there's a smell of optimism in the air, and the press is reporting on running in all it's ..read more

 Happy New Year ! (chinese new year if you insist). Well that was a busy weekend back after - no work since December 2023. Things can get a bit weird if you're not up on your self motivation and ready for the rush ahead and keeping on top of the admin for next year (yes it does take a bit of organisation and planning!) To go from zero to three races on a sunday with the full team of 22 photographers out and about - and a total of more than 15,000 runners and taking over 500,000 imags with live delivery for 450,000 of them on race day - was a bit of an acceleration rate from hibernation ..read more

I was the first person to finish the entire Brighton Marathon course in 2010 (I did get a lift around in the lead car though) With news that the Brighton Marathon has applied for administration, which might not be a surprise to many, but it's worth remembering - it is the second largest marathon after London in the UK.  There's a lot of factors at work here, and I confess to not being the frontline on the journalism across this - but basically the winner from last year didn't get paid his prize money. So he asked for it, and didn't get it. After a lot of asking and a lot of not ..read more

Did you manage a run with a friend this weekend  ? Enjoying the autumn colours ?  Just a quick check-in today as we didn't cover any races this past weekend... I continue to give some thought to what events can do to encourage activities and administration that help their own survival and indeed what runners can do to encourage the survival of their favourite events. Because we all want that ! Clearly things related to financials are the hardest thing for an event to do - giving money back which usually has already been budgeted for is a difficult deal to strike - but what ..read more

 Having a weekend of no work and no running, because I had my old vulnerable persons flu jab and pneumonia jab too, and frankly - that was enough excitement for one weekend - I thought I'd carry on with some analysis of the weekends action. For contrast this time last year I had just spent the sunday sat in the undergrowth of the Kings College Cambridge staring up at the Chapels West stained glass window as the Half Marathon rushed by, sending free photos to all the participants during the race - we had over 8.5 million online brand impressions for the race organisers by the end of the we ..read more

As many of you know - we've spent a lot of time working with the great team from Macmillan over the past four years -  and watched them deliver events flawlessley / floorlessley / anti-gravity / without mistake and help people achieve great things in support or in memory of great people. We have been lucky enough and privileged to provide the story and proof of some of these challenges and achievements and have been invited to help provide that same level of support to Macmillan fundraisers again in their new Trail running series. We know that proof photos help raise sponsorship, s ..read more

One of our regular photographers freelanced at the Tonbridge Half Marathon today - and that gallery is now live here: https://bit.ly/Tonbridge-Half-Marathon-2022-race-gallery not our usual gallery location - so use the link to get there easily !

It's an intere ..read more
