Robert Coppard I’m a Ultramarathoner in a midlife crisis hahaha that will take the odd photo here and there and share it.

I do not sell my work or work in the photography business anymore, I am strictly a hobbyist, and only do it for fun 🤩

Thank you to Leanne McAmmond and everyone else who was involved for this very unique event! Thank you to FlyYMM for hosting us❤️ I was able to take 2nd overall and I was able to snap photos right afterwards, definitely a first for me 😂 and probably won’t be the last time I do this!
It definitely added some pressure to perform well 😂 This year I did 3x 100 milers, 1 full marathon, 12k Birchwood bender, 2x 5k races. This was definitely my breakthrough year, I was on the podium 4 times 🤯 Can’t be more proud of myself and what I accomplished this year. My hard work is paying off ❤️ 2027 will be no different I hope 🤞

62 kids and parents and folks like me show up for 2nd annual Turkey Trot hosted by our Ptarmigan cross country ski club of Fort McMurray that has been running for 50 years. It’s actually very cheap to buy a membership and you can rent skis off of them and use our groomed trails in the Birchwood Trails and they operate out of Doug Barnes cabin! I love going to these local races and talking trash to the kids 😂 and delivering a great performance 😂….the best part of it, the entry was only a Food Bank item and your in🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽at the end of race we enjoyed burgers and a prize give away🙌🏽thank you to Borrey Kim and Jimmy MacRae for the action photos of me🙌🏽 and thank you to the all volunteers that made this a fun and safe race❤️

Thank you Szymon Bicz Photography for these wonderful photos🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 This was a fun 12k race through the Birchwood trails!...

Just finished my 4th Full Marathon and with only 1 week of recovery from the Lost Souls 100 miler. I came into this race with the intention to just finish but a few days leading up to the race, I felt my body was ready to do more. So I set a goal time in my head which was 3 hours 30 minutes, and if I felt good, I’d try for more. Needless to say I just stuck to my plan and executed it perfectly. I feel great, no issues to report. I have a few 5k races left but all the big races are done. This season has been my break out year, 3x100 mile races completed, PR my 100 mile time, podium twice, sub 20 min 5k 19:47🙌🏽, just PR my Marathon time. Consistency and discipline has been my secret… like I said on FB “Do it happy, do it scared, do it sad…but we will prevail” now it’s time to plan 2027. All I know, I will be pushing myself and challenge myself and chasing my goals and dreams❤️ Thank you to all my supporters and my wife for letting me be ME!!! A savage runner 😂

One of my favourite things to do on Saturday's is the Birchwood Park-run that happens at 9am at Doug Barnes Cabin, it's completely free to do! and ran by the finest volunteers in Fort McMurray which I consider them my friends and family. Today as I get ready to run tomorrow, I decided to do some photography for them. It was a nice change of pace!!

I thought I would share some of my photography from my latest race Lost Souls Ultra which I successfully completed for the 2nd year in a row as a 100 mile finisher. I enjoy running and unfortunately it's taking a lot of my time away from Photography. But I always said, if I go to these races bring my camera or drone and use it.
Lethbridge is a very unique spot with lots of interesting landscapes, about 1hr south of town there is a beautiful park called Writing on the stone. It has thousands of Hoodoos makes Drumheller look meh hahaha totally joking... but it's a very power energy in this park it's hard to explain but I really enjoy running the trails through this landscape. I have one more race to go and my season is done until next year...maybe I will chase the Northern lights in the near future.

I just completed my 4th 100 miler and my 3rd one of the year. Every race I’ve improved and this one I actually PR my time from last year 5hrs and 8 mins to be exact👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I set a goal to go sub 30hrs and I smashed it… but this race was far from perfect. The wheels completely came off for the final 50km, I dealt with G.I issues, I felt super weak, queasy and could barely run so it was a slug fest with my body and mind! That last 50k was all grit. With that said I know where it went wrong and I will try to improve my endurance this off season… Let’s see if I can go sub 24hrs at this race, I know can! See you next year Lost Souls Ultra, thank you for putting on such a amazing race experience ❤️❤️❤️special thanks to everyone that helped me at the aid station ❤️ Photo credit for the one shot myself holding a snack:Brent Guppy.

My second podium win of the year happened last weekend. I been really surprising myself this year and I am really finding my stride and speed this year🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I just turned 48 years old and to be honest. I never thought I would ever see a podium ever again. Even though in the big picture, it really doesn’t matter, but it still feels really good to be good at something, I truly enjoy. Since I started my journey 3 years and 8 months ago, I am exactly where I want to be, healthy, running, and my mind is as strong as EVER ❤️
I also want to give the Birchwood bender props🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 this event was well organized and definitely exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be back next year or any race Borrey Kim organizes with his team! So thank you to all the volunteers, Search and rescue team, and our Photographer Syz Bicz❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you to the cyclists Kev Dominguez for the video of me running from his bike 🙌🏽.
