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

Oscar's Everyone Day

Sunday 22nd June 2025
In 2021 Oscar the Grouch proposed one day each year where "we unite as a community and EVERYONE records an activity of some sort - a dog walk, a run, a swim, a ride, ski if you want...".

Sadly we lost Oscar in March 2024, so now we dedicate Everyone Day to him. Thank you for the inspiration you gave us Oscar.
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Thanks for various tips and ideas. I had to wash a NB t-shirt twice recently after I'd been wearing it all weekend at a mountain marathon

Based on start line experience, I suspect that some of the whiff *may* be generated by competitors skipping a shower beforehand... :-o

Halo worked really well on my stinky kit plus Sainsburys sell it which is a bonus.

Mrs Star would never let me put my stinky kit in the freezer.
Have Halo, will wear it. Fantastic stuff. Kit like new! Bows down before the Gods and Goddesses of Fetch.

Ooh, will have to invest in this Halo, it's horrid when you think your kit is clean and then you start ponging the second it heats up :)

There's definitely not enough room in my freezer for trainers!
