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!

Well, if we start a group - Aberdeen mile and get folk to join that. I'm happy to contact the sports village to find out about hiring or booking time. Once we know how many we can start bandying dates about. Would 2nd week in Nov be any use ie after halloween. guy fawkes as I know parents get fully allocated around that time? Totally agree about not competing with Scottish mile. Folk who can travel can do both if they can.

when you contact sports village ask how much it would be for uni staff to hire the track,
the other option is using the track at balgownie which is free but not in great condition

OK, I'm back but I think Nywanda is doing a good job at organising this! I'm happy with Sat 13th Nov. What do people think? Can't do weekend after as that's Fraserburgh Half and I need to taper since I'm attempting a PB.

How about Frankie and Bennys for food afterwards? I take it kids are invited? We could get them to do a mile?

*Goes off to join group*

13th is OK for us too! QP loves F&B so theres an incentive for him :) Has anyone actually done a mile before who'll know what to do. Never managed to make any yet so no idea :)

13th is good for me. I may have kids in tow as well, although they would be well up for running it.
