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 don’t know what the chances are of getting a place next year (or another year) if I don’t do this one. I have applied to run with them before & not been chosen so it’s definitely not a given.

The “target” is £2620 (£100 per mile), plus a £100 “registration fee” that I’d have to pay this week.

In normal times that would definitely be doable and happy to do it.

I have to admit I’m also feeling guilty because I feel like I should just want to raise money for a worthy cause, without thinking “am I going to get my money’s worth?” It’s not even my money, though it will be my time & effort to raise it.

Last year I was due to do an “Ironman” triathlon that obviously didn’t happen. I was going to raise money for CRUK and did get some money upfront but I won’t be pushing it in 2021 because there is so many people who are in a worse of situation now
