My Wife ran in this marathon so thought i'd take my camera to get a few pics.


As well as the runners, there was this lady doing a wheelchair 'race', I believe she was the only one

Quick recommendation: try a number of different styles of photography for an event like this for showing to us lot. For example, a wider, panned shot, closeup pictures of running shoes hitting the road, knackered people at the finish line etc.

Makes it all more interesting and demonstrates your skills.

Fine ideas for being creative thanks, it's a shame it's so difficult to show my intended audience

Really nice set of photos there... very well captured.
A big well done to your wife too!

They are decent enough shots, but the above comment coupled with the fact that you've posted 790 images of the race to Flickr really underline what is happening to sports photography in this country.

Good job I don't follow them from Marathon to Marathon, and waste my life way

Nor do I, but the official photographers do though.

I fail to see why you would post 790 images from a race.

Your 19 'best of' shots are easily enough to show off your skill.
