Sussex Sports Event Photographer, The Chichester 10K Run










Today I attended the Chichester 10K Race, hosted by the Rotary Club of Chichester Priory: http://www.rotary-ribi.org/clubs/homepage.asp?ClubID=1628 You can view their website here and see some of the fantastic work and fundraising they do.

The entire selection of photos is at my main website in the 'order online' section at: http://www.martinlewis.biz/ A few sample images are shown here – just to wet the appetite.
I was the official photographer again for their event on 7th February 2010 which is their very successful annual 10K ‘road’ running race – a Sussex AA Road Challenge Event and Sussex Grand Prix Event too.

The event website is here: http://www.chichester10krace.org.uk/index.htm and there was a higher than previous entry level which made for a hectic finish area and race photography!!
From my perspective as an observer – the Chichester Race is one of the best organized I see and always has a great atmosphere amongst entrants, spectators and officials.

We had fairly overcast, but calm conditions and I managed to capture a lot of images at the start and finish area. I mainly focused on the finish area and was able to capture images of the majority of runners as they sprinted past the Chichester Festival Theatre: http://www.cft.org.uk/index.asp and into the well coordinated finish area.

Timing was recorded by E S Sports Ltd: http://www.chiptiming.co.uk/results.php who provided a first class results management service, utilizing an ingenious timing chip that looks like a mini credit card and attaches to the runners shoe laces.

All other sponsors, helpers and team members can be viewed via the Chichester 10K event website home page, mentioned above.

My images will be available for viewing and sale to the runners very soon, typically within 24 hours of each event.
