Hi guys,

Did this event on Saturday:

fetcheveryone.com/viewracedetails.php?id=2128377

It says 5k and 10km in the title but the distance in the details is 5km. I didn't notice that so added it and then have spent five minutes 24 seconds wondering why my Wava score was low (I personally don't care about Wava but do care when something confuses me, as I feel dumb. This happens a lot).

I tried to sort of duplicate it and change the detail to 10km but when I pressed the big Green Fetch button, nothing happened.

I ask you, what do I do here?

Thanks :-)

Email Fetch and ask him to change and you enter the other distance. I've had it before and I'm sure it got resolved (I think I might have fmailed the original poster as well)

But would that replace the old one? They did 5k and 10k and the two other runners ran the 5k, so I don't want to mess them up.

I guess Fetch could answer the question though.

I would create a copy on the same date, then edit the title and distance of the new entry.

Yeah I tried that but nothing seemed to go through. I have emailed Mr Fetch, as I don;t want to make this worse and suddenly a whole bunch of races appear!

I copied over last year's to this year. Also tidying names so the 5k shows as the same event for 2017 and 2018 :-)

Excellent, someone with more brains than me, thanks! Can someone shout to Fetch that he can stand down. I feel silly sending him an email to say ignore my previous email.

I recall the fun we used to have when anyone could edit a race definition, one race I entered the details for suddenly got moved from Merthyr Tydfil to the Isle of Man because this chap fancied that it was similar to one he wanted there.

That is still possible, I've just amended the location for the above mentioned race...
