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!

What are your thoughts on the marathon organisers providing energy gels/ drinks along the course? Poll on Fetch suggest majority think not.
I think they should. Boston aren't (in case you missed it)

Not fussed personally as would rather take my own gels so can practice with brand/flavour to hopefully avoid any unpredictable consequences from unwise experimentation at 22 miles ;-)

As long as there's enough water......

Orange segments would be nice!

I am worried about how many more are running this year. They had a lot of issues last year, so thought they would sort those out before increasing numbers.

What issues were those FML? Good to know potential problem areas in advance

Lack of toilets was the big one

There was also no goody bags at the end, which I believe they had addressed

There is going to be more toilets at the start but still not enough! and I think we'll be getting a t-shirt this year and medal. Don't hold your breath for anything else.
