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!

Just submitted my entry, fingers crossed. I'm having a crazy idea to try and run all the majors next year as I turn 35 and become a vet. May see how Boston and London go before I commit to the Autumn races. Anyone else done all 5 in one year who can give me any advice?

I think Controversial did all 5 in one year a few years back.

2012 is easier than 2011 - I looked into a tube from Picadilly & flight on the Sunday afternoon & could get there in time to run Boston the following day but would have missed the number pick up.

Boston will complete the 5 for me (I have Chicago in 3 weeks) But finance means it will have taken me 6 & a half years - NYC was my first ever & Boston will be 127.

didnt realise you'd never done London. NYC is the really pricey one to enter - $400 these days I believe ?!
