This Thursday we covered another race in the heart of London. The whole route was spectacular, but there was one special place near and dear to our hearts, actually not even a place but a single building and to be more specific, the name of it – Tower 42. Don’t worry, we didn’t loose ourselves snapping buildings, there are almost 2,000 photos of runners on our online search at 42run.com

A nice race in the Wimbledon Common on the day of Wimbledon Tennis Finals.  No prizes for guessing if it was raining, I know you got it right the first time.

It looked like any other summer day. A race in the park on a nice and sunny morning, runners smiling and waiving as they pass the cameras… and then suddenly I see a couple of runners running towards me, waiving and shouting something. They ask to call the ambulance as a runner collapsed just a couple of hundred meters away from here. We call the ambulance but have no idea where we are.  It’s the middle of Richmond Park, just by the road somewhere. We’re stopping cars, asking for the name of the road but no one knows it… then a race marshal runs by, calling the ambulance herself – it’s coming. We can hear the ambulance siren and although it probably takes just a couple of minutes to get here it feels like eternity. The ambulance comes and we go home, leaving them to do their job and  hoping the runner is alright.
