It was lovely to be invited over to Bedford to take photos of this fab 5k, but my heart sank when I realised that it was going to be overcast throughout the day and evening. So when the race got underway at 7.30 it was a struggle to get the balance right, for the camera to cope with fast bodies whizzing past whilst needing enough light to capture an image . .

and so I don't have photos of everyone finishing the race . . because many of the photos are out of focus . . my apologies if this causes any disappointment . . why not come along to the Bedford Harriers' 10k in September, and I'll get a great photo of you then . .

• this page connects to 7 pages of thumbnails of the photos I took as you ran along the final straight . .
  

• 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 last runner on each page finished in the time alongside the page number below, so if you ran a time between 23.30 and 25.56 then you should be on page 4, unless you really struggled in the final stretch, in which case you would be on page 5 . .

please note that these are based on gun times . .
