It’s the Aberystwyth Twin Peaks Challenge at the weekend. A challenging partly off-road running race covering two of Aberystwyth’s most famous landmarks: Constitution Hill (450ft) to the North of Aberystwyth and The Duke of Wellington monument on Pen Dinas (413ft) to the South. The race is organised by Aberystwyth Athletics club and is about 7 miles long.
Following on from the success of my recent sports event photo assignments at the Forest of Dean Enduro, Lake Vyrnwy Half Marathon and the Snowdonia Enduro, I’m planning to pop into Aberystwyth and take some photos of the Aberystwyth Twin peaks Race. Hopefully it will go as well as the previous events I’ve covered, although the mountain biking events are a little easier to cover (and sell photos from) than the running events.
As always, if you’re competing, look out for me on course and give me your best smile, or if you prefer grimace!
Check back here soon after the race for the Aberystwyth Twin Peaks Photo Album.

Well, the photo assignment went well. I started off on Pendinas hill and the rain stopped just in time for the runners to come past. I got photos of most of them there whilst they were all still fresh and full of smiles.
I then headed down to the northern end of the Prom in town and took some more shots of people as they went to and fromn Constitution hill.
Then it was back home, process all of the photos, label them, upload them and by dinner time the photos were online ready for all to see and buy.
Did I get a good one of you?
