Photo offer from past Great South Run and Bath Half!🙂

Just wondered if anyone else had received this in their inbox from Marathon Photos?

I imagine it must be pretty difficult for these events photographers at the moment - there is nothing to photograph! 😫 Someone has sat down and had a good think about how to generate a little income and hey presto! - let's try reminding runners of their past events - happy days, happy memories!🙂

I don't tend to buy race photos - (I generally look awful in them 😂) with the exception being one from my Bath Half back in 2017 - but today bought the pack plus video for £7.95! A small price to pay to re-live the memory of myself and my sister 🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ at various points on the course, including crossing the finish line together hand in hand!💕 Still my proudest running moment - and my best run by a country mile (literally!😉)

I was bombarded with emails too. I had actually bought my GSR photos - they were bad and it wasn't really a day to remember, but it was my first big, proper event so I bought the whole pack. You got a bargain there!

This is an incredible memento 💜

...especially to look back on it now! Wouldn’t buy it at the time because it was expensive but couldn’t resist the offer yesterday!

I had one of these e-mails a few weeks ago as well, to do with my HM back in 2017! I bought photos at the time, so I'm not sure why they contacted me again.

I got the email, but I have always bought my race photos for the laughs (I always say I won't, but then think it might be a nice thing when I'm old and more immobile 😂) so they tried to sell me something I already have. You'd think they'd have a record of whether someone has already bought something!

A photo of you and your sister crossing the finish line , how special😊😊

Even better - a video! 🙂

Something to treasure forever👭

I'm sure they slowed those videos down - I remember mine was more like an old fashioned action replay to check who crossed the finish line in what order 😂😂😂
