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!

Per, at least you probably didn't need so many wee stops. ;-)

I don't think I'll be returning to parkrun for a while after it does restart. There's so many new runners since lockdown, they'll all be desperate to do parkrun when it restarts. That's if running in the cold and wet hasn't cured their new addiction.

Which mans Dave has 4 checkpoints to do before the finish, Bint has 5. They both have to get over the Medway (there's a bridge) and then the really hilly bits start. Not massive hills but really up and down with very rarely anything just level to run on.

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.
