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!

Is there the opportunity to run one of the marathons with him? I couldn't find any mention of it on his website.

Basically turn up. He runs at the pace of the slowest. I think if you email through then someone will get back to you with a few more details. I guess we need to work out what the best approach is! I would say that if it is an officially organised marathon then you should enter that, but most are ad-hoc with routes sent in by local running clubs.

One thing he said on Sunday was that his Facebook page probably has a bit more interaction on it than the website. So you might get a quicker response via that.

You don't have to do full run though? When I did Swansea with him a number of people joined us along the way for various distances.

Plotting a route shouldn't be hard though a bit of local knowledge would be useful to avoid running along the busy roads. It's a Saturday so getting there should be ok.

That Leicester one almost runs right past my Mum's house! Shame I'll be away then, I'd have been up for that.

About This Thread

Maintained by Nightjar
Let's support Ben Smith who is running "...401 marathons in 401 consecutive days around 309 different locations of the UK. The aim is to raise £250,000 for two fantastic charities, ‘Stonewall’ and ‘Kidscape’. Both these charities work tirelessly to combat bullying in our schools and society."

This is a staggering commitment - no injuries or days off feeling poorly are allowed. He is a lovely chap, a joy to run with, and he'll run at anyone's pace. He has already inspired many people to run their first marathon with him.
