Clatters Jan 2015 9:58pm, 6 Jan 2015 260 posts	Quote Pin Clatters Added myself as a runner. When I last ran (2010), Fetchpoint literally gave me shivers as I ran past and got a hug!!! Tangible emotional support - love it !!
Nickid Jan 2015 10:04pm, 6 Jan 2015 194 posts	Quote Pin Nickid Hi all I'm running but not sure what a fetch point is (sorry). Do I need to be a member of FERC to join the fun?
kwala Jan 2015 10:11pm, 6 Jan 2015 4,646 posts	Quote Pin kwala Hi Nickid. Give me a couple of minutes, I'm going to try and find the article from last year to give you an idea of what Fetchpoint is about. For now just join the runners group, the link is in the sidebar - no membership of anything required.
kwala Jan 2015 10:25pm, 6 Jan 2015 4,647 posts	Quote Pin kwala A Fetchpoint is basically anywhere that a Fetchie is supporting a race. At London we have loads of supporters turn up to support even more runners. It's also a good place for any Fetchie runners families to come as they will see you twice and we look after our guests well!! We provide sweets, jaffa cakes, oranges, drinks, hugs, cheers whatever (within reason) the runners need. Due to the numbers we organise supporters and runners into teams - this will happen probably mid-late Feb. Here's the link to last year's article - all details are the same, but obviously the teams are from last year, so will be updated later on. http://www.fetcheveryone.com/article-view.php?id=514 Those are the facts, maybe someone who's run VLM before can provide more info about the experience of Fetchpoint?

This is my first marathon and first London so I will be a very virgin runner and may need all the support and comfort I can get. Thanks for organising Kwala, and for being supporters to all on that side of the fetchy barrier!
