:-) I'm in, was not sure for a bit if i would enter the fee was putting me off to be honest but glad i entered :-) So excited, really looking forward to hopefully having a good run, and fingers crossed breaking the 3hour barrier the training has commenced. Looks like a few of us fetchies are gonna be taking part, does anyone know if there will be a big meet up before the start like some of the other events, always great to meet other fetch addicts :-) Good luck for the training everyone

Just spotted this thread. Not running, but will be supporting like last year - although hopefully in better weather as even I started to get hypothermia in Altrincham...

Maybe the start of a Fetchpoint, then...

JK well volunteered.... For FetchPoint ;-) where will it be?
DD thought you'd have been quicker than that? Sub 4:30 for me.
Shall I put target times up in the header?

Welcome to Fetch Lax, better to get the illness out the way now rather than the week before :-) hope your training goes well.

JK - I'm not running (not quite brave enough to tackle a marathon just yet) but thought I would fetchpoint if I can get there ok.

I'm yet to decide whether to pace my friend to sub-4 or defer my place to next year.

I'd have thought the top of Brooklands Rd (convenient for the Metro) would make a resonable place for a fetchpoint, to see runners at 8&15 miles, although maybe that is a little early in the run. Alternatively, Chester Rd (near Stretford Metro stop) would see runners at 5&25 miles.
