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!

If you did Edinburgh 2010 just make sure you had the medal the right way round as it looks a bit rude otherwise.

After saying they were aiming to get them all sent out by Friday last week, they are now saying on Twitter that “the final batch will be set out really soon”.

Big G - if I entered an ultra and didn't complete the distance I would say that I'd DNF'd.

Baz - so you'd be happy to start entering virtual races and not running them as long as they send you the shirt and medal you've paid for? Wouldn't it be easier/better to just buy the t-shirts you like from shops?

That's a pain Alice - is there not a local Fetchie with a medal that will allow you to pose with theirs?

Someone posted a screen shot of when VLM were saying that they expected to have sent them all by Monday 12th October. 🙄

I suspect I'll have done my second virtual marathon of Dublin this weekend before the tshirt arrives for the London marathon.

Dublin have just said they are not going to be sending anything out for at least 6 weeks though as they are in some form of lockdown now and posting medals is considered non-essential work, and with anyone running the virtual Dublin in Ireland restricted to running only 5km from their front door.

the frames for my medals were from The Range I believe but a quick look on line and I couldn't find them. they are about 60cm x 20m and so you can fit in 8 - 12 medals in each. I'll ask Mrs CW when he is back in case I mis-remembered the supplier.

There used to be some deep Ikea frames that you could use for things like that, but can't find them on their site at the moment. I've a previous years London medal and a Lego mini-me in my running kit in one.

Think it was called a Ribba frame, but the range seems to have changed.
