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!

But most of all I've never been there before, or anywhere near there in fact, so it is an excues for a nice holiday. Thinking of flying there but then getting trains back (over 4 days) so would be part of a mini-adventure.


I've done marathons crossing continents, Countries - Chester (England & Wales) & States - Bluefield (WV / VA).

Malaga is always a good option, Foxy😀.

Also did Freiburg in 2016 for my 100th. Enjoyed the race and city!

Gonna try NYC via GFA route this year, failed last year. Would like to avoid sport tour if I can, but maybe only option.

My son, without my knowledge until this evening, has entered me for the Berlin Marathon. I've never done a marathon out of the UK so I'm starting to panic!

Now frantically trying to sort out flights, transport, accommodation, etc. and whether any medical stuff is needed as well.
