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 just received the EMF newsletter and it has a section on it about results as follows:

Result - you can choose!

If you want your results published on our website, you can do so by logging in to your My Details account and clicking on the 'Publish my results online' button, then your results will appear here. This means your full name, finish chip time, chip split times, finish gun time, category & category position will be available publicly. You decide!

Good news :-)

But still not good enough if you want your time recognised by PowerOf10 etc...

Loch Katrine, Moray, but not big city mass participation events.

Chester is a Rolls Royce marathon

Sshhhh don't tell too many about Loch Katrine Duchess I want to make sure I get an entry each year ;-)

Putting the onus on individuals to make their results public is a total p*ss take in my mind.

As Duchess says still nite enough and nite by a long way to be honest.
Not going to happen I know but it would do their brand no end of good if they were to finally come clean, come out from hiding behind the privacy nonsense and give real reason why they want to withhold results.

Though I havent forgiven the bloke with a mike at the end runing with me and making me do a sprint finish to get a gun sub five.I already HAD a chip sub five and I do NOT sprint at the end of a marathon!!
