It will be fab Akie. Come along! We’ve had a long break in these parts but the previous ones were brilliant. I’ll have to dig out my Fetch vest - last wore it for a race in 2010 - hope it hasn’t shrunk

Yep, they do that Jenny Its all very easy to join Akie, add the race to your portfolio so we have an idea of numbers. If you've not done one before then this is kind of how it goes: - cost likely to be between £3 and £6 to cover track hire depending on numbers - Meet up at the track (Woodbank stadium, home of Stockport AC) - we will organise collections from Stockport station for those that need it - mill about and chat nervously - eventually decide that leaving the cake till after the run is sensible - grumble a bit about waiting for cake - start a shuffling warm-up - We then run the mile in groups of similar paces (4 laps + 9 metres added at the start) - Cheer on and shout abuse at the other runners, relieved that you're done - Some suggests running 100m races - everyone anxiously rubs their hamstrings - but goes for it anyway - Cake Time !!! - Group photo - Move to a local hostelry for coffee and food - Relax with the excellent WAVA you can get in a 1 mile race! - Spend the next 10 years avoiding these strange Fetchies |
