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!

I'm in the green wave, I was planning to drive in and park on the Common but I'll aim to be there stupidly early in case of traffic.
A pre-race Fetchie meet-up would be fab.

We always get there early because it is quite a long walk from the catamaran and we call in at some loos en route which never have a queue. And since son is on orange wave, he'll want to be there in goid time.
Yes Fetch huddle please! D Day museum is the usual place.

I'm really looking forward to Sunday. It'll be my first formal race since September 2018. That time I wasn't sure if it'd be my last as I was soon to begin chemo prior to undergoing surgery to remove lung mets, so it's about time I put my race vest back on to say thanks for the opportunity and give a little back.

After my first encounter with cancer in 2016, I made a career change and ended up working at St Luke's Cancer Centre in Guildford. The care I received in the other hospitals where I was treated inspired me to want to work in the same sort of kind and compassionate environment where I felt I could help people in a similar way.

I'm running the race with colleagues from work to raise money to improve services for those suffering the effects of cancer and its treatment, our justgiving link is below.

We are 66% of the way to our target and I am sharing the link here, there and everywhere in order to try and get us over the fundraising finish line before the start on Sunday.

Thank you,
Dio

I’ve arrived at our caravan park. It’s only about 1 mile from the start so easy to walk there tomorrow for the 5k and Sunday for the main event. What time are we meeting up on Sunday?

Went for a bit of exploring around Southsea. Looking forward to seeing this fella on Sunday around mile 9.

Anyone (apart from me) doing the Great South Run this weekend? I’ve entered the 5k on Saturday as well as the main run on Sunday. It’s my 3rd time doing this one.
UPDATE : 2024 my 5th time!
