Where's Wally?

It was the Paris marathon yesterday. They got a perfect day for it, sunny but not too warm.

As it passes very close to our little flat, I was able to pop out for a few photos. This was taken from a pedestrian crossing above the circuit, so we got great views of these brave participants, nearing the 30km stage.

I am very admiring of their stamina and determination to complete a 42 km run. I've done a couple of half marathons, but I think I've missed the moment to complete a full marathon.

What a wonderful colourful capture of the runners! Love it and you made me laugh with your title! My friends daughter was running - now wouldn’t that be funny if she was in shot! Lol! Fav!

What a riot of colour brilliant

[Sarah Bremner]

Great photo! The crowd at these events is amazing. I prefer little runs at my own pace with no audience but I think the local group is very supportive 😊

[Denise Wood]

I find it amazing that the runners are so close together at the 30 km mark! How many run in this one? Love the capture from above too :)

A great title and super shot

[Delwyn Barnett]

They hardly look as though they have room to run, they are still so tightly bunched.

[Henri Russell]

They are so close together it appears they can hardly move. I couldn't find Wally.

A super action capture, where is Wally?? Haha

[HappySnap]

Really like the pof of this! so much to look at. Wally is the guy in the middle facing the wrong way, right? ;]

Good shot, and well done to them all. Running just isn't my thing.

[Lin]

A great capture and even greater title! Fav!

[Taffy]

I love all the colors and the way the runners form a river of people.

[Tom]

Great pov, what I find interesting is that there is so many and still
bunched up at 30k and talking to each other doesn't seem as if they are in a race! Great sea of color

So many people and so colorful. I like the stand of trees on the upper right, too.

@gilbertwood 55,000 participants it seems. It will be popular, as the course passes through all the iconic areas of Paris. If I did one, it would be this one!

[Issi Bannerman]

@tosee Yes, so much so that hubby didn't believe me that they were at the 30km stage. I had to show him the route map!

[Issi Bannerman]

@randystreat Yes, lots of Paris streets are tree lined ... you can just make out the Seine behind the trees.

[Leila]

Great shot!

[Denise Wood]

@jamibann Thanks Issi. The Melbourne marathon has around 30,000 participants and they are quite well spread out by the 30 km mark!

Wonderful POV and excellent capture of these runners! So much to see in this photo! :-)
