| All go at Congo Brutal, a new course near Deepcut |
In another fast paced weekend we covered five events and licensed the Pic2Go technology out to yet another.
It's a quick blog this week as it's late, I need sleep before 2am, it's been hot and we're all bothered !
Here's the table of recent events - just use your race number to search and order your race photos.
Remember for the free ones - order the image and select the free download option and checkout as normal...
Heads up to a few recent enquieries as to why we ask for delivery address on all orders - well the law changed about 5 years ago to make VAT applicable in the UK based on the address of the customer, not the supplier. This has killed of tax dodges by digital music sales operating out of Jersey for example, and yes it affects us too...
As a quick round up of the weekend which was the hottest on record this year - if you had wanted a good wet cooling dip in the woods, the the New Brutal Congo Woods course would have been the 10k race for you on saturday. Muddy Mission around the nuts challenge course raised money for Parkinson Disease was also with it's watery dips for a cool down (and wash !).
It was then a quick trip up west to Shrewsbury for a full pic2go.co.uk operated event - the gallery putting images direct to people's facebook account has now had over 1.2million image views for the Sponsors UKRunChat - the main feedback has been the absolute delight on the texts, feedback, tweets and facebook posts saying just how fantasitc the system is, it certainly brings home to us just how much enjoyment we can bring with our work ! (which is nice!) (and makes the total of 9 hours endurec in a transit van of computer and photography equipment without airconditioning - all the more worthwhile!)
It was also the second running of the Hampshire Hoppit, a lovely rolling hills trail half marathon and marathon race with views to take your breath away, again with some tough temperatures, but fantastic trails to run along.
Next events coming up over the month ahead for you to get your last minute entries in !
