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!

Great Barrow Challenge

I take my hat off to the event organisers. I can only imagine the logistical nightmare of putting out all the directions to cover four days and 4 different walk/run lengths. I did find the instructions difficult to match up to the red arrows on day 3, but it didn't spoil my day and I will be back next year.

Not forgetting the brilliant achievements of all you FiFs :-)

Really enjoyed my first multi marathon event. Surprised that my last marathon was my fastest by over 25 mins.
Route marking was excellent for me as I never went wrong once in 4 days. Just wondered how many markers were out
there as it seemed like there were thousands? Super event, I will definately be back next year.

It's too early yet for me to say whether or not I enjoyed the running. Maybe a bit too much road for me. I enjoyed saturdays most, but I did manage to get on the grass verges. Very interesting running through the Gallops. But feel great that I achieved it and met some fantastic if mostly crazy people. How you guys run marathons every week I don't know. The organisation was great and for me there was no chance of getting lost. Never seen so many stickers in my life. Well done James. Loved the food every night and the company.
