Carsington 7+ Race 20 September 2020

Posted by Robert

About one-quarter of about 500 runners taking part in the Carsington Reservoir round-the-lake race in Derbyshire, England, on Sunday 20 September 2020 are shown here approaching mile marker 6 of the seven and-a-half mile course. The images are from a tiny lens in the back of a cell-phone after a total lens failure in the Photochippy normal camera. Hope the smiles on the runners’ faces make up for the poor image quality and for those who were missed ..

The 66th Conkers parkrun weekly timed run event took place in bright sunshine on Saturday 21st July 2012 at Conkers in Leicestershire, England. 93 People braved the 5 kilometre course in this FREE run or walk. Nearly all are seen here, some in odd behaviours like three-legged-race mode, egg-and-spoon-race, wheel-barrow race, even one runner choosing to SKIP with a skipping rope the whole way. These photos of nearly all the 93 participants are resurrected here in April 2020 on the 9th birthday of the event, which is currently not taking place during the health emergency.

You probably can guess why they cancelled this year’s annual Aldi Ashby 20, the renowned 20-mile Road-Running Race at Ashby-de-la-Zouch in Leicestershire, England. The race comes through Packington village 3 times, and provides a sport-photo opportunity. Here’s the one that PhotoChippy used as a launch event back in 2011, with images never before published..
