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!

Those two nutters are yesterday's news HOD. I suspecdt they are still locked up in some nuthouse somewhere. :)

It was comical that I turned up to Fetchpoint yesterday as a supporter and with face uncovered and was recognised much less than when I got there as a runner last year with face covered.

It's the camera that does most of the work.

Most of the shots were rushed. You Fetchies tend to run too fast towards Fetchtpoint - if you could slow down a bit, it would be appreciated.

My arm appears a lot... Usually with a can of beer attached to the end of it. How did that happen?

A photographer and a journalist were once chatting. The journo said to the photographer "I've seen your work and it's good. You must have an excellent camera." Thanks" said the photographer. "I've read some of your stuff and it's great. You must have a really good typewriter."

Take a compliment when it's offered, mate. You've done good work.

Fetchpoint, Fetchpoint, Fetchpoint. For the second year in a row you were the absolute highlight of a less than perfect day. Certainly the loudest supporters (although McMillan nearly matched you with twice the number of people). Was a real thrill hearing you from the 13 mile point (and thanks Stander for the pic of the fist-pump!)

After picking up some blisters around 14 miles things went wrong for me, but the knowledge that you were all waiting just down the road kept me moving if not running. Big Hi Fives straight down the line were immense, and from then on I just chilled out and enjoyed the atmosphere - isn't London a good marathon?!

Sorry not to stick around in the Chandos afterwards, but my homing instinct kicked in and I just needed to go home.

Yeah. I didn't know where to look half the time, so much going on. It's not like you have randomly caught some of the Fetchies, you got loads of them, several times each mostly, and got them really well.

Some fetchies are here to support specific people. They'll start to filter away once their runner is through. The rest of us will stick around until the flood slows to a trickle; at which point some of the folks who have been there since dawn will start to head off. We will always make sure that there are enough people there until every one of our runners has been accounted for.

Here's where we are: londonmarathonfetch22.webs.com
