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!

Great North Run

I will be in zone G in a Fetch top and hoping to PB at something around 2:15...

I ran 2:32 from the back of the very back pen last year, so it's not impossible...

It's not that I'm confused, just that the world is organised in the way I think it should be!

Soz Pestomum was a bit upset yesterday when I got a J pen number. I was told the last two pens were supposed to be for the walkers I feel as if going backwards not forwards. Its my 10th this year i wanted to try getting the under 2:30 which keeps illuding me!! I have put a lot of effort in this year! I haven't skipped one pen I seem to have skipped 4. I tried to duck in last year and got told i couldn't by the marshalls. i think they have changed the numbers and rules on actually wearing them to stop people using last years numbers!!!

well most of you will know what it is like trying to dodge walkers. Plays havoc on your legs!!!

Batmous email the general enquiries and they can actually re-allocate you if you have race time evidence that you are NOT really a walker etc!

I wonder if my number will arrive today!

Mrs SODIron's race pack arrived this morning, she's also in J...it's gonna be a long wait for me at the end. I'll probably be two miles into the run before she even crosses the start line..! I best take some money with me so I can have a beer or two when I've finished :o)
