This was an emotional day for me.
This event, 6 years ago, was the first OCR event I photographed and over the years has given me some of my favourite photos. This year was to be the last event and, for the first time at this event, I was photographing the finish line. End of an era...
It wasn’t the best weather with it drizzling all day, but the competitors really seemed to go the extra mile and enjoy themselves.
As the runners came towards the finish they all forgot how tired they were and really gave it their all to make the last photos the best, with star jumps, cartwheels and even blowing kisses to the camera they all gave a little extra, their was even a random RatRace space hopper that found its way over the finish line which gave them endless fun.
It really is a shame that this great event is to finally end but it has given a lot of fun to everyone including the photographers. Thanks for the memories.
