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 think lots of distance options and time starts, whilst might be a headache to organise, would be the most inclusive way to do it. There will be those who want to push themselves to their limits and folk like me who just want to diddle on the sidelines doing just enough to join in without breaking any records.

Do you think that the four distance options covers it?

I agree Doc, and personally I think there’s plenty of options there Fetch - especially if you’re adding in the option to drop down distance choice part way through!

I think introducing more distances dilutes the field too far. Better to have larger numbers in the same category than individuals going solo in their own category.

I dunno. I'm never going to 'win' so for me it's about the taking part and challenging myself. And doing sthg different.

Agree that the choice of distances is enough - effectively 1, 2, 3 or 4 miles.

And those competing in the four mile are simultaneously competing in the one mile, they are just doing so very inefficiently.

Right, that’s the distances settled.

I think those 4 distances should be enough. Thanks Fetch!

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
I thought it'd be good to have a thread for discussing F'Laps 2024 (Date 6th July 2024). Follow this thread if interested.

The Rules
1) You must run or walk your chosen distance (a choice of 4.167 miles, 5k, 2 miles or 1 mile) within each hour e.g. 9-9.59am, 10-10.59am, 11-11.59am.
2) Each participant must visit Fetch and hit the "Completed it mate!" link before the hour ends: fetcheveryone.com/flaps-checkin.php
3) If you're finding it too much, you can drop down to a shorter distance, or tap out.
4) The winner is the last person standing in each distance category.
5) You can participate on your own, or get together with other Fetchies.
