worst race photo service I've ever seen - no finish line pics, two of me, one of someone else - yeah great - saved some cash there.

Mrs Croc got some of the fetch group at finish - will upload once dug camera out from holiday cases.

i agree croc, its pretty disappointing. i thought there would be a finish line pic at least. i wont be buying any, shame as i did think of putting a photo in a frame with my medal. even the non-photo certificate you have to pay for. PAH!

does anyone have any actually *crossing* the finish?-i seem to remember seeing peoples like that from previous years.

Oh dear. There *is* another one of Team Cake up under my piccies. But it's NOT good... will prove to Cakey that she was ill when she ran, though.

scotnb,

You're not alone in being invisible. I wasNo.303, yet each time, even using the link from the results page No.3038 appears. B******s

The old system used to have a way of looking up photos of runners who hadn't been identifiable by way of a race number, because it was missing, or obscured. They would tag each photograph with shirt colours, sleeve type, shorts colours, wearing a hat or not etc etc, and you could fill in a form which would search for these criteria. There were often loads of extra photos.

It's a shame that, wanting to keep all the money themselves rather than contracting out to Marathon-Photos, they haven't looked into this technology.
