Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Yes, I did it in 2013 and then it stopped a couple of years later. Lovely scenery and it wasn't too hot, too cold and was completely dry on the day. I then had to get myself back to Bourneville station to catch another train from Birmingham New Street, so not much of a break for me after finishing it. Just enough time to have a quick chat, a Coke and a couple bags of crisps to give me enough energy to get home via London! I had to run up a platform ramp to get to my train as they kept on changing the platform on me too!

I remember one year missing the coach to the start and did several train trips . One year messed up my hydration, got some water off fellas and had calf cramps after sitting down to get a stone out my shoe then struggled to get up! I still have mementos from those races

I only did it that one time and wanted to do it again but it stopped before I had another chance. They had a bumbag with JW Ultra printed on it...it's floating around the house somewhere.

Mr K did it the year I did it, neems and her OH too, his name escapes me. Sophster was there too...while greeting her, I nearly headed off onto a detour onto the other canal, which would have been disastrous! ;)

Continued the streak over a short camping holiday. Only very short runs, too hot for much else!
818 days not out :)
