Once the runners had all gone past me after the start, I made my way to the middle point of the course to take a few photos of everyone. I hadn't realised that I'd actually be able to see runners heading in more than one direction . . but hopefully made the most of the situation . .

. . unfortunately in following the runners round as I did, I didn't see much of the leading runners . . and my apologies if you're not amongst any of the photos . . you were just too quick for me . .

• this page connects to 9 pages of thumbnails of the photos I took as the runners came out of the trees into the clearing in the middle of the race . .
  

• each page has around 40 thumbnails on it
  

• clicking on a thumbnail will open a new window with a larger version of the same photo, where you will have the opportunity to buy the photo if you wish . .
  

. . the photos are in the order that the runners came by, and the last runner on each page finished in the time alongside the page number below, but as this is fairly early in the event it gives only a very rough guide to the page you may be on . .
