This weekend just gone saw me spend 24 hours down at the Newnham Estate in Plympton photographing the first Devon & Cornwall Backyard Ultra event, in aid of Bowel Cancer West. If you have never heard of the concept, stand by!
Run 4.167 miles every hour, on the hour until there is one runner left. Think of it like an extreme beep test
The eventual winner lasted an impressive 16 laps from 6pm Friday evening through to 10am Saturday morning. This is a distance of 66.67miles!
There was also three other different running events held being the 50 miles, 25 miles and 12.5 miles.
Every runner has earned my respect and I was massively impressed with their drive and commitment especially experiencing all the different weather conditions Mother Nature threw at them.I alone managed to put in 36k steps during my shoot and I can safely say my feet felt it the following day while I was editing!
