The Doctor K Cup
94 watchers
The seventh annual Doctor K Cup will take place on Saturday October 7th 2023
All you need is a GPS watch or app. On the day, RUN AT LEAST 5K WITHOUT LOOKING AT YOUR WATCH. The Fetch Benchmark system will pull out your fastest 5k from your run (so you can include it as part of your long run if you like). The person who gets closest to their prediction will be declared the winner (though the judges decision is final!).
It would be lovely if you could upload your 'K' pics to the gallery (make a K shape with your fingers) to help us remember Doctor K and all the Fetchies we have lost.
NB A GPS watch reporting 5.00km will do so from 4995 metres onwards, but you MUST run at least 5000 metres or more. To avoid disappointment add an extra 10 seconds on to the end of your run, just to make sure.

I’ll start pushing this more after today and see how many we can get involved. Unfortunately due to family stuff I won’t be able to make Bolton now and will instead do a local one as I need to be in Lincoln for 1100.

I'm going to revise my target later, still at The Wammy but going to go eyeballs-out for a Season's Best rather than my forecast plod. Seems the right thing to do for a competition.

I'll be running comfortably hard as I have a 5 mile race the next day. Have had 2 practice runs which turned out to be 3 seconds apart

Roll up roll up, one week to go before we take part once more in the Dr K celebration cup in memory of a wonderful man. Last year we had 19 competitors and I already have that number down this year so hopefully we will get some late entrants and smash it, for those not aware there is a beautiful silver cup up for grans which currently resides with Steady Edina who was the 2017 winner. Who's in for it this year then? The following people currently have their names down; bigleggy Joopsy Serendippily Sigh Jamobomo Doogs Fitz Stander sinj999 Autumnleaves westmoors DoricQuine Decorum Footpad MazH Nightjar Snogard SusiesueH Velociraptor Footpad |
