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!

Now, Mr W might not be coming as it turns out our other friend is away - I don't expect him to get up at the crack of dawn to support me really. So, who should I give my drinks to, and where should I come to do that?

Mrs W - Excitebubble will be at the start before the race to collect bottles and things. She has to leave by 8:15 so be there early.

Wine Legs - we are also an official water station so have to be there and set up in line with the race instructions. We wouldn't want to let the runners down.

I hope this isn't the wrong place to say this but I really appreciate all the trouble the people involved go to. It make such a huge difference to that last few miles to get the lift from passing through Fetchpoint.

Oh I seeeeeee JJ... I hadn't realised it was also an official water station. That explains the official nature of it all :)

Fetchpoint is at 11 and 20 miles.

It is pretty much the far end of the loop and you run by twice.
