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!

How many races have you done (according to Fetch)?

Parkrun is a race if you race it.

51 x Marathons
8 x Half-Marathons
6 x 10k
5 x 5 miles
1 x 5k

Of these, four 5-milers are not on Fetch, either because the distance was significantly reduced prior to the event or that I can't locate my finishing time from the 1980's. Or, that I simply can't be bothered to create an old race in my portfolio!

Parkrun isn't a race, even if you think you are racing it WS. As well you know! :-P There's no good way to exclude them in race counting in Fetch though. Excel is the only way! :-) G

My profile says 125, but I'm not sure if that includes ones in my portfolio that I haven't done yet. It will include the two parkruns I left in there because those were significant PB attempts.

A quick count says;

6 OW swimming
4 5k races (not including parkruns)
17 5m
23 10k
4 7m
9 10m
1 12m
20 half marathons
1 15m
2 18m
5 20m
17 marathons

6 ultras

Plus 4 24-hour races and HDS, RNR and track races.

.....but parkrun is a race in my mind...sometimes, even the Dr K celebration parkrun was a race, even though I wasn't racing flat out

I might break mine down into distances....I have fell races too

I have raced every parkrun I have ever done with at least as much effort as any other race (often more so according to the Garmin) so I will continue to count them as races unless someone can give a first principles explanation of why they do not meet all the criteria for a race - this specifically excludes "because they say so".

No idea why I'm interested, but I am. I blame Fetch for all the stats. I might send a Jelly Baby to...
