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!

Good luck to everyone running. Like GG I wish I had entered the ballot now.

My number has arrived and I just managed 2 miles pain free following a bout of PF for the last 3 weeks. But before I got injured I'd done 10m and 9m so hoping that I can get fit again quickly as I've been cross-training. Viewing it as a good excuse to stay with friends for the weekend and have an interesting run! Can't wait now.

Got my number yesterday too. And I just blogged about preparations.

I don't feel as well prepared as I have been in previous years, but I'm still hoping for a good run on the day. Are we going to try and do a pre-race Fetch photo as well as meet up at the F flag at the end?

This will be the first years in many I have missed as its a week rely so other commitments. DEfintiely plan to be back next year. I hope everyone has a great race. I know not everyone likes GNR and it's very expensive to enter but I've always loved it and have many happy memories over the years.

Got my number yesterday, pen C again..i ran 1.39 from there last year and if I get close to that I will be pleased..

this will be 4 in a row for me, and my last for a while..not sure how well prepared I am for it either, but like Scribbler will give it a good go on the day..even though it will hurt I will try and enjoy every minute of it.. and I agree with Jovi, expensive it may be, but a great atmosphere and puts the North East on the world running map..

Old Croc, if not at F, then in the pub :)

My number arrived too, also in pen C, also not prepared as previous years.
I'm up for meeting up - how about a before and after photo?
