Mary - thanks so much for the great article and for covering the race. This is the Race Director and I wanted to see if you had any other great photos from the event. I would be happy to buy them from you.

Thanks, Emma, Congratulations on putting together a great event. Sorry I was too busy watching to get many photos; the one with the Green Man was one of just two. The other is also in a cctv post, http://www.cctvcambridge.org/node/30325. It shows two women in leis dancing after the race; the woman on the left, Joy Richard, was a participant (#283) I think the person on the right, Kate Palmer, is the spouse of a participant.
Feel free to use either or both--I'll put them on Flickr, so you can pick them up there and use them under Creative Commons rules. The flickr location is
