Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Also you don't have anyone there with the experience of doing it before and if they apply it for everyone it means Adam won't get the chance to defend his fastest time (if he wants to).

The possible consequences are for Brathay to worry about.

*WE* have a team of runners to support :):)

Yes, I think it would be disappointing if Adam wanted to go back and improve on his time and couldn't.

I'm a bit disappointed too, but I accept that it's completely fair and hope everyone has as much fun as I did!

I wonder if they thought they would raise more money if they took new people rather than people who had already badgered people in the last few years?

I suppose from their point of view they want

a) strong runners who will cope
b) to raise the most amount of money
c) to increase the profile

for b and c they need to get new runners in so they can get new money

some valid points although just because you've raised the funds once doesn't mean you can't do it again ? I've raised over £15000 in the past 5 years for various charities & sure folks wouldn't apply if they didn't think they could raise the funds.
