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!

Thank you Fetchpoint got a great shout out at mile 13 but was concentrating so much on one foot in front of the other I almost missed you at mile 22!
Fetchpoint ought to be televised as it's probably the loudest point on the course. Thank you all

First time in London yesterday, still got a headache from the sun and NOISE!
But a brill day, fantastic Fetchpoint....I didn't even think to look across at 13 miles, at that point was concentrating on getting to Mile 14 where my bestie Mel Floyd was on a drinks station......thought when I got to mile 22 it had been moved, but
then after a while saw the little sign saying 100m on the right...what a welcome sight!
Sorry for ignoring everyone, but there was one person I needed to see yesterday at that point
and I saw her and gave her a hug and carried on....then saw Stander, i did manage to Hi5 you right? :)

Sorry for "ignoring" everyone else, but it was such a boost knowing you were all there.

PB for me,which I never set out to do, but will take it

Stander
No, you ignored me as well. But at least that meant I got a reasonable photo of you.

My arm was mostly there with a packet of Jaffa Cakes attached to it.. I quite like the one of me giving Muckyhands (Broeinon) a little pep talk. They really capture the day though, nice one Stander :-)

The maddest thing that happened was a guy who collapsed at the traffic island in front of us at Mile 13. He looked in a bad way and was stretchered off. He reappeared quite a while later running past Mile 22 in a hospital gown AND foil blanket. Can't help wondering if he actually escaped from A&E somewhere. I do hope he was ok..

Miss C- He is my main memory of the day as well, I was also wondering if he finished, I expect he did, he was certainly determined enough.

Yes, I couldn't believe it when I saw him again. He looked very out of it I thought and quite possibly ran away from the medical staff! That was one determined man.

Holy crap, that guy still ran? We must have left by that point.

What a lunatic/hero.

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
