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!

57.5 Degrees of Pain
Really enjoyed Pontefract at the weekend. Wasn't sure about a lap inside the racecourse with two additional little laps of a small lake (especially as I once did Hexham Marathon and didn't enjoy lapping a similar course many times), but it worked as a course.

At 618 it was also easily the highest numbered event I've done.

I’m hoping to visit Bug Hunter Waters, but it will depend on the state of our volunteer rota. I tried to go a couple of weeks ago, but ended up RDing instead

Either the beautiful but tough Faskally Forest course or a lie in for me. Depending on alcohol consumption Friday.

Quick question for those of you who do a bit of tourism.

Do any of you know of a parkrun anywhere which has runners "crossing over" one another? By which I mean, for instance, runners cross a crossroad for instance east to west, and then later, cross the same crossroad, but south to north, if you see what I mean? A conflicting movement.

I've got a plan in mind but I'm trying to avoid narrow bridges...

Yes, although probably not as bad as you may be thinking. At Bournemouth the fast runners have completed their first small loop before the tail has reached the start of it.
