This is a fairly small event which lots of running clubs local to Wilne get involved with. This one I was the only photographer which meant a lot of moving around the event village taking photos of the runners before the event along with some promo shots.
My aim was to cover as much of the course as I could, so I managed to get the runners about 1k from the start to get grouped images of them as they came past. Next, I made my way towards the finish 2k away to get the front runners as they started the next lap. Then finally on to the finish line to get the leaders as they crossed.
Covering all these areas myself enabled me to get a lot of different shots and really build a picture of the event. One of the things I like about running events is capturing the runners in full stride, with both feet off the floor and that determined look on their faces that only a distance runner has.
