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!

I've just had a Hermes email and got all excited but then realised it's for some running tights I ordered yesterday *sits back down on sofa next to EP*

I don’t see the issue with people having medals if they paid for and entered and dns/dnf the race. I agree it’s not ideal but at the end of the day I have over 100 medals I reckon scattered about the house. Other than on the way home from a race I have never worn them if looked at them.

Big G, personally I’d have no issue letting people stop at a marathon as long as they are listed in the results as having run a marathon and get a marathon medal not an ultra one. If there is an issue with having the right number of medals, they could have the same one for both distances and have different ribbons for each distance, which would be cheaper.

All my medals are on display, though not as good a display as your one CW.

FDNB, I'm not 100% sure about the medals - maybe it is just different ribbons that they have. I know that the shirts are different for each of the two events as they have the respective distances printed on the back.

Shirts is tricky. I wouldn’t want a shirt (or medal or anything else) that said I had done something I hadn’t.

I'm still waiting too, but I'm avoiding the sofa to stop myself eating the biscuits.
Where did you get the display boxes CW?

CW - you will need a bigger box for this one.
