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.

Oh my goodness I am still a bit in shock about this! May I fess up how this happened? So, I was at Newport parkrun and was going to run round with a friend. Turns out Newport parkrun is very flat, could be potentially very fast and I was starting to get a bit of (relative) pace up. And then my friend intervened and went 'whoah, slow you down' (yes, he's Norfolkshire-born). And that's how the time happened. Not by design, purely by accident because my mate had a pair of heavy legs. I refuse though to give the K-Cup to him, that's mine for the next year. HUZZAH!!!!!
