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'm still trying to pin it down, but would include something like:

Measured course
Registered with BARR or equivalent
26.2 miles
Road
Advertised with enough notice to allow anyone to enter (ie. not essentially a bunch of mates getting together to run a race)
Some incentive to make it fast at the front
A clearly advertised and enforced cut off (say 5 hours for a flat race, 5 1/2 for a hilly one, this is meant to be running not walking after all)
First aid presence
Insured
Properly timed with published results

Minimum entry of 50 (or maybe 100)

Probably other rules too.

London would count. The London Ultra wouldn't. Nor would Richmond Park.

Brighton road counts. Brighton trail doesn't.

Et cetera.
