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!

Out of all those words that I’ve read, just one lept off the screen at me 😀

Agreed - though I'm now mildly concerned about the weather between now and Sunday and the effect that may have on the racecourse parking. Didn't they have to withdraw that offer at the eleventh hour one year because of waterlogging on the grass they planned to use?

Clearly less of an issue for those who know Chester but for those of us travelling a distance it's an extra stress we could do without.

Yes, that was 2017 I think. Chester isn't great for parking but there is a good option at the end of Curzon Park North where you can park or free and walk easily into the race course

Hopefully the parking on the race course will be robust enough though.

When the weather was looking grim it was going to be easy to choose not to run.

Now I feel a lot better and the weather improving I’m waivering……

So decision made.

I'll be on the start line.

I'm hoping to make it round but have had a good look at where first aid stations etc are so I can make a decision each time if I should carry on.

For anyone that doesn't know me I'll be looking like this.....


I'll have a clear disposable rain poncho glamming the looking up before hand.

Oh and shades whatever the weather as that was the advice after last eye exam.

Switts you know me well enough to know I'm nuts!
My bestie says I'm going against medical advice- hers! But hey, what does she know? She's a neonatologist so only knows baby stuff. 🤣

Dunc. It's cooling in the kitchen.

There will be some with your name on it esp as I failed to bring any to Windmills for you.
