Tredworth Road Race

[tigerimages]

Inspired by the increasing number of running photos on here I took my camera down to the Tredworth Road race in Gloucester on Easter Monday to see if I could get a few decent shots. Sadly it's no longer the event that it used to be but among the 30 odd runners and 100ish crowd there were several civic dignitaries including the Mayor, Gloucester MP Parmjit Dhanda and also Paul James the leader of the City Council who was running.

Any thoughts on my efforts? I think it's hard to get an interesting running photo although I was pleased with my capture of the guy taking refreshments!
