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!

Ah, I haven't seen this morning, I had a couple of answers where I had a couple of options so had about 4 different possible numbers in the end, and none of them worked...but I saw someone on facebook said to make sure you were logged in on the tickets website before it'd accept a code, and once I'd done that one of the answers I had worked! So not sure which was right and which was wrong in the end, but hey, job done! A roundabout way of getting there, but perhaps a metaphor for the entire event ;)

It kind of is Joe! Bonkers really. We have about 7 on our team but realistically we’ll ‘run’ in 2 or 3 groups.

Now to decide where we are running ! believe we have 2 partners who will crew us which will make a huge difference.

I figure the route and logistics planning is a (big) part of the fun! Sounds like you have a good gang to team up with, and some on the ground crewing is no doubt a great thing too! I'll be heading south-east and seeing how close I can get to home!

Well done everyone who's got a place, if you're wanting to do the London non-canal route let me know and I can share any info we gleaned on the way! Main thing is that it's hiller than you think!

I haven't got an entry for next year as it would be an unpopular decision maritally at this stage but we got our entry through doing Fallout last year and also a lot of people sell their entries on the FB group in the run up to the event due to injury or whatever, so I maaay do it again, depending on how other runs pan out.

I actually had a dream last night about an unsupported ultra that was an England sized version of Who Squares Wins but with counties instead of squares and I was planning a pretty ambitious route from London to Devon and then up North... I don't think that's a real thing though...

lol EdGreig, we are kind of looking at a London route avoiding canals and as many busy A roads as possible. Any thoughts appreciated, I think I have loaded a route a friend of one of the participants did when she did it a few years ago.
