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!

It is a site which draws on your strava data, either for runs or for runs and walks, as you select, from a start date specified by you, to calculate the number of miles you have covered since you started this race. It then overlays that onto a route map running along navigable roads (as an approximation to the exact route of the GVRAT) to,show your location in the race. Or at least that what it seems to be to me!

A quick PS on geofit - as far as I know, it's an unofficial thing. It has been interesting to look at while the official tracker was hard to access, but I don't expect to be using it again.

Here's my "official" marker 24 miles in:



And here's Geofit's calculation:



So it is certainly good enough for now. How the overall distances compare, I don't know.

I think Geofit is a slightly more direct route based on the driving directions.

Synge- you are on the bridge at the start of the “walking in Memphis” video

This is where I am at the moment. Oh dear, an awful long way to go.

My wife & I walked up to the Angmering Estate woods yesterday. We saw a couple of deer as we wandered round. By the time we walked back home, we had clocked up 11 miles.
