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!

I see we're into week 2 of entry for Boston 2018. Anyone applied this year?

I see that the first wave to open included 20 minutes under the BQ time for the category. That's quite a lot under! :-) G

Mine is not quite that far under but decided to give it a miss this year as I missed doing London this year.

Quite good to know actually, because it gives me incentive to go for it in my qualifier races. Was going for a time that is about 10 mins under my BQ, but incentive to go quicker if I can!

I've got 3 bites at the cherry for Boston 2019 - Chester Oct 17, London Apr 18 and Edinburgh May 18. :-) G

Last year I think the cut-off was something like -2 minutes.

Got something to say?
