The 90th running of Southend parkrun took place on Saturday and a record 277 runners and many spectators came out to take place and cheer. The event was special for a couple of reasons. Firstly it was a pacing event where a number of parkrun regulars had agreed to pace other runners to help them …
Southend Half Marathon and Fun Run 2014
[Updated 10/06] For Nick. Once again I took to the sunny seaside streets of Southend to support and photograph runners in the annual Havens Hospices Southend Half Marathon.

BUPA London 10,000
Today I took time out to go to the BUPA London 10,000 road running race which - somewhat unsurprisingly - was in London. I was there partly to support a few local runners but mainly to take a whole heap of photographs of as many of those taking part as I could. I succeeded in the …
Great Notley Spring Duathlon – Photoblog

A few photos from the 68th running of the Southend Parkrun on January 11th 2014. I wasn't the 'official' volunteer photographer for the event but I want to try some different settings and cameras.

LoSS 10K 2013
It is mid October which means it is Leigh on Sea 10K time again. Once again I had entered however I did not feel up to running it on the day so regretfully I was a DNS. The good news however is that it left me free to go and take some photos of all …

Today was the Great Notley Duathlon. I had in my diary to take part in the Southend on Sea 10K which was also today however a few weeks back Mr SMCC Ian Tovell aka Goldie aka @Sprocketwaffle tweeted that he had signed up for this event. This was shortly followed by Mr IronMan himself David …
Southend Half Marathon 2013
It was the the annual Southend half Marathon today in aid of Havens Hospices. I was not running on this occasion but plenty were - including many twitter friends of mine - and so I decided to do as I often do and go down to support and to photograph. As I have mentioned on …
