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 did the Vertical Rush one, I believe its still going.

The London Runderground, wax a set of maps you bought from Rory Coleman. A group of us from here did it, 42 stations, 42 km was hard going ad you had to take stairs not lifts. But wad an Interesting challenge.

If you want an "actual" underground challenge, then there's always the Tunnel Ultra - 200 miles, involving back and forward 100 times along the UKs longest tunnel

You've just missed 'Hell on the Humber' - it's a night run across the Humber Bridge - completing as many laps as possible.

I did Hell on the Humber (24 hours) in 2018. Simple and low fuss, so it was good for stepping up to 100 miles for the first time. It's a reasonable lap distance for leaving your food etc. so you can avoid having to carry things.

Traffic noise was loud for me at times during the day. Official lap counting was a bit wrong for some people. I don't regret doing it though.

Got something to say?
