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!

Do we think that they are going to be doing all they can to identify the millionth on the day? I really hope so, wouldn't it be great that by the time this person got to their bag that there was a special millionth bag waiting for them too? Perhaps a shed load of prizes.

Tempting.....if I start to slip off target on Sunday I'm going to sit down for about 3 hours and come in around 6 hours instead!

So they've announced the 1,000,000th finisher bbc.co.uk and it appears the pre-race fanfare wasn't matched by the prize on offer... "For finishing in the millionth place she receives a unique #oneinamillion t-shirt and a guaranteed place for the 2017 event."

Looking at her finish photos it appears she crossed the line simultaneously with another lady. I wonder how they determined which one finished 1st/2nd!
