Now has the race route, including elevation e.g. http://www.fetcheveryone.com/viewracedetails.php?id=869386 Brilliant stuff - better than any other race listings on any other website. G

It's there for some of them but not for others so I think it relies on users having named the routes in the route section using the race name. If I have time I will put the routes of some races that I have done into the routes section in this way.

I am completely aware of the myriad of weird and wonderful ways that results are done and that they may randomly disappear or be moved.
Surrey Phil Mar 2017 1:38pm, 10 Mar 2017 1,881 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil If we notice the route has changed or is simply incorrect, can anyone change it or has it got to be the person who loaded it in the first place? Also, can you change the mile markers to km and vice-versa? Otherwise, it looks great!
