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!

"All your personal data and information, including your running times, are treated with great respect. As such your result information is exclusively available to you within your My Details account after you have completed the race. We will only openly publish the top 3 finishers of each race. You will need to log in to your My Details account to get your times, splits and finishing position within the race. You can then choose to share this information as you see fit. They are your results and times."

So only the participant themself will have access to the result ...
... unless your name is marathon-photos.com???

the interesting point is that they claim to be an IAAF Bronze race...as a bronze race they are obliged to publish the top twenty finishers direct to IAAF as soon as the race finishes....a quick look on the IAAF website doesn't show any results from this race.

The fact that you can see any runners official time by searching on the official photographs website does somewhat make a mockery on GSi's 'data protection' argument. I'm interested to know the *real* reason they're not publishing results, the only reason I can think for deciding to not publish results is based around hiding something (perhaps the number of runners registered?).

Aparantly GSi are the team behind the Bournemouth Festival of Running and did the same at Bournemouth last year. I would personally avoid any event organised by GSi.

SOD that was a reason I had heard something to do with levies they need to pay at various levels of participants!? So no official records makes it easy to pay lower levies.

This is only hearsay in fairness but TBH they do not instill a lot of trust or confidence with what seems a continual disregard for runner feedback.

interestingly enough...if you search through Run Britain for the Bournemouth Festival of Running results you'll find the 5k and 10k listed but NOT the marathon. I'm pretty confident the same team were organising this?

Thanks SODIron, but that was 2013. And in 2013 the results were on Power of 10
