Well done MikeP

Enjoyed the event, took it very steady, coming from the flat fens was worried about the hills but not quite the mountains I was told to expect although one Fetchie passed me in the opposite direction on Cardiac Hill - he was going down - but no number!!

Thought the layout of the finish area was very good and the event has the potential to be huge, but needs more at the start - marque to shelter from the rain, refreshments for sale, changing tent, left luggage

Good event though - well done the organisers - oh and great support all the way round - thanks

That was me, Old Man. I'd gone out to do some cheerleading for the guys in my running club (Cleethorpes) and take some photos but I also needed to get a run in, so after my team-mates had all passed me, I ran the course in a different order.

When it's a local race my team know me, so I often wear Fetch colours.

Good to see you DG, I did think after I shouted "Old Man" at you it sounded like I was suggesting you were an Old man, lol!!

"fancied this one for a few years"? Are you sure? I hate it!

There are certainly easier ones, but despite the weather last year I enjoyed it, but then I only ever intended to do it once.

Depending on where you are staying Geoff you should come and try Hull's new parkrun at Peter Pan park. The other one at East Park is much busier (320+ on Saturday) whereas we only had 80.

Is there a baggage storage area. Thought I had read it somewhere but now double checking cannot find it?
