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!

Salford Quays is barely a mile from the Start/Finish :)

Salford Quays is ideal for walking to start, I've had very adequate meals at the italian there and also frankie and benny's - but they may well be stuffed with runners, I'd recommend booking if at all possible.

This time I've got an airbnb in Chorlton, just marginally further away in the opposite direction (closer to the finish!), and a table booked at (supposedly) the best pizza in manchester :-)

Nothing is free for dinner until 9pm. Why am I so disorganised 🙈 Frankie and Bennies don’t take bookings so that may be ok

Must be a policy change, I booked there a couple of years ago and enjoyed swanning past the huge queue of suspiciously thin trainer-wearing people :-)

Just on match days apparently. That’s when I realised it’s Man U v Man City 🙈

I have dinner, bed and breakfast at the parents' place, and taxi service to the race too :-) It helps to be semi-native!

I've done a 12 mile training run. That's enough, yes? :-o

Hi all. How did it go?

My last minute changes worked well. Bella italia gave us a table when we walked in Off the street 😂

I struggled with my wee head today. Just constant doubt and negativity. but I stayed on top of it and got a PB 😄 3.53.57. Yay.
