. . Carlton Lane was closed to traffic so that the banner could be put in place . . and this allowed the runners to warm up in safety before they lined up beside the churchyard . .

 

. . and suddenly, they were off and on their way . .

 

. . I took 92 photos of the runners as they set off on their 10 mile race . . click on the 3 photos below to go to the thumbnails and see if you can find yourself . .

. . whilst I was taking all these photos I had an old camera recording the runners on video . .

. . and as the runners wound their way up the hill towards Carlton, I went round the course in the opposite direction to a point in the 9th kilometre . .
