I wanted to create this community to help people become more active and take some cracker photos while doing it.

You might be someone keen on photography and want to get fitter or you might be an ultramarathon athlete who wants to find some new and interesting places to run.

You don’t need a fancy camera to participate either. A phone will do, you might want to use a tough camera, or maybe would want to use a full frame SLR. You could even use a large format camera.

Success is largely defined by yourself. You might love to just get out and get some new photos for wall art, or you might be focused on getting a new personal best.

While the main way athletes move around is walking or running, there is no reason that courses cannot be made for a cross country skier, or someone in a kayak or canoe.

A course could be as short as 20 minutes or as long several days long. Hopefully people see places others have been and want to also complete a course.

A sample course: Milsons Point to Mrs Macquaires Chair (Sydney, Australia)

Overview: travel across the Sydney Harbour bridge from north to south and pass the main ferry terminal and Opera House.

Start point: Milsons point (accessible by train and ferry) End Point: Mrs Macquaires Chair, in the botanical gardens

Stations:

1. harbour side at Milsons point, a wide angle shot of the Harbour Bridge and optionally Circular Quay docks.
2. while crossing the bridge get a shot of the Sydney Opera House 3).While passing circular quay take a photo of one of the Sydney ferries 4 at the corner of the opera house, take a nother shot of the harbour bridge. 5 at Mrs Macquaires Chair take a shot of the opera house and harbour bridge.

Course length, approximately 5 km.

Notes: the path is fairly steep betwee Milsons point and the harbour bridge walkway. There are elevators on the east side of the bridge ont he north and south sides for wheelchair access. There is a lookout on the southern pylon of the bridge and going into this is costs money and is optional The eastern side of the bridge is used by pedestrians while the western side of the bridge is used by cyclists. There may be many people walking over the bridge at peak times and running may not be possible. A wrist strap is recommended for camera shots taken on the bridge. Between the southern part of the bridge and a circular quay, the most direct route includes some stairs. Circular quay can become very busy and people looking to run the course have to walk. The Sydney Opera House is often used for events and there may be many members of the public walking around it. After leaving the Opera House, the pedestrian traffic should decrease to the point runners can go at high speeds. There is no public transport close to the finish line and athletes probably have to go back to circular quay on their way home.
