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!

P&R doesn't normally start until 9:00 on Sundays (at Madingley Road & Babraham Road, anyway - not sure if it's the same for all of them). I assume they've got the council to start the buses early at those two sites only.

@Badger - ta. I have to admit that while the extra bit at the end of the 2012 course looked a bit naff in that it was hardly the best Cambridge had to offer, it at least looked like fast running - in contrast to some of the ankle twisting bends in the centre!

If the course continues to pass within 50 yards of my house I'll be a happy bunny - or Mrs, toddler, and baby Nutkey will be :)

The last three miles were the consistently fastest for me last year, but that's my usual approach to halves. With people streaming in the other direction quite close by, it was actually really hard to overtake anybody. I did the Wandlebury trail run last weekend and the bit up and down the Roman road felt quite similar, with the little difference that there were a grand total of 92 runners so it actually wasn't that difficult overtaking.

Loads of people in the same boat if you check further up the thread. We reckon the race list is probably authoritative.

It took a few hours for my confirmation email to come through yesterday, but I was on the list straight after I'd entered if that helps
