The Doctor K Cup
94 watchers
The seventh annual Doctor K Cup will take place on Saturday October 7th 2023
All you need is a GPS watch or app. On the day, RUN AT LEAST 5K WITHOUT LOOKING AT YOUR WATCH. The Fetch Benchmark system will pull out your fastest 5k from your run (so you can include it as part of your long run if you like). The person who gets closest to their prediction will be declared the winner (though the judges decision is final!).
It would be lovely if you could upload your 'K' pics to the gallery (make a K shape with your fingers) to help us remember Doctor K and all the Fetchies we have lost.
NB A GPS watch reporting 5.00km will do so from 4995 metres onwards, but you MUST run at least 5000 metres or more. To avoid disappointment add an extra 10 seconds on to the end of your run, just to make sure.

On the basis that I've recorded my own time rather than let the benchmark be found and have an asterisk, I deduce that the asterisks denote self reported times. Happy to be corrected if I've just added two and two to make five |

Just noticed that if we’d been on a real course, Mrs Jigs finished just 3 seconds ahead of me. I reckon we might have had a bit of a sprint finish if it’d been real. I was admiring your outfit, Mrs J.

Due to work commitments I can’t run today. Did a walk this morning whilst holding telephone calls with colleagues so nowhere near prediction. But that’s not what it was about.

Way out on my prediction - in a good way though as I was faster. Had done in on after the finish at park run as the distance was a little short of the 5k.

The asterisks are the folks who didn't quite cover 5000 metres, but if they ran between 4900 and 5100, their finishing time has been extrapolated. Added after last year.
