We are looking for a volunteer to take photos at the race this Saturday (23rd September). Is anybody available?

We can offer some money for fuel and a cold beer after 😄.

This race happens every year because of all the amazing volunteers giving up their time. We would love to offer free race photos to the runners. Could you help?
