| All go at the start of the 10k after the Half and Marathon start at Southampton in perfect race weather |
Well done to everyone who had a fantastic time on Sunday in the perfect weather for running wherever you were - everywhere except London by the look of things, where it was a bit too hot.
The 2018 Southampton Half Full and 10k Fun Run gallery is absolutely stacked full of images - over 280,000 of them in fact - all catalogued and ready for your searching - I'm amazed at the job our photographers have done this year - some cracking images though the water mist on the bridge and in the Saints Stadium - given how crowded it was there's a fantastic memory right there for you along with your finish photos to make a wonderful story to remember the weather and your hard work by.
Free Downloads at REP Bluebells
We had a free download event at the REP Bluebell event - if you ran that - to get your free photos - order the free photos - I know - it sounds a bit weird, but just add the ones you want to your order basket and select the free images listed in the downloads tab ( there's a print/products/downloads tab in the top corner). because they are free - there's no transaction at checkout, and you get the download links immediately, untouched by our human hands !
If you have a bit of a glance down the listings below, you will see event organisers are continuing to go forwards with the benefits of free downloads when there's a reliable team to delivery a solid coverage for participants throughout an event.
we continue to talk to event organisers to engage with Sponsors to use
Pic2Go.co.uk for live race photo sharing, where it's more personal and more effective, and better value to use Pic2Go than them trying to advertise online on social media and it helps the event and individuals to raise more money for charity... so some quite good reasons for everyone involved in events! If you're organising or sponsoring an event, or want to sponsor and event we are involved with - then please just get in touch - because we know people !

| The terror of being chased by a letterbox, you know it's there somewhere behind you |
 |
| Always nice to see the Sister-in-law pop in to the "bring a relative to work" day - enjoying the start |
 |
| Taking in the views of Bargate and the historical bit of town |
 |

 |
| Space Cat can hold any yoga pose in mid air (check the vest out) |
 |
| more running yoga poses |
 |
| holds the longest mid air running yoga pose possible. In fact I think she's still there. This is exceptional. |
So that's it for another weekend of running experiences that you should now go and register for next year because you know you shouldn't be missing out again like this...
And if you didn't miss out, you best get your photos as this is where the memories begin - and everyone else has just entered and booked out the race so you can't do it next year...
until next time !
