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.

Happy with my debut - 11 seconds out. Took photo before, but forgot to do the 'K' sign. Sorry folks.

Slightly confused - do we enter our time manually, based on what the site calls out as our fastest 5k of the run we did today? That's what I've done, but I can undo if it's not what's intended. Exactly a minute out! |

Ah, ignore - I've just seen that there's a separate page which pulls the result out too.

Loving the photos - I was far to soggy and needing to get myself changed and out to work when I finished, so didn’t manage to get one this year. It turns out I was just 2secs slower than my predicted time which really surprised me - thoughts of those Fetchies no longer with us obviously distracted me sufficiently the weather conditions! |

Ditto panad - I attempted one post-run but cocked it up and just wanted to get out of drenched kit! Thought about doing a Dipps but no K signs on my route. |

Was lovely having some quiet thoughts about lost Fetchies after running in lovely places with happy people. Counting my blessings. Thanks Fetchies all. G
