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!

Completely flat and all below sea level. And it's through a desert.

It's completely flat from about 11 miles. There's a little hill in the first mile and then some gentle hills from about 4 miles onwards, up into the downs. But what goes up must come down. There is also a little teeny tiny ramp up onto the sea front at about 22-23 miles which felt like a mountain the first time I did it, when in reality it was about 8 inches in elevation.

There isn't a little hill in the first mile for some of us.

Think so. The hill around the back of the park isn't much to worry about anyway, but we run straight down past that start and miss the hill.
