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!

Not sure about global as a slow runner in the city will score better than a fast runner in the sticks.

Could be both score and number of links. Also running the London marathon would get you a gazillion points

National & local league tables flawed due to mass participant races whatever measure you choose.

Assuming links are evenly distributed then total links may work?

It's fun without complex and ultimately meaningless competition though.

Conquersize also has a global leaderboard but is harder to win zones in urban areas or park run zones so would even things up. Now how about a fetch pentathlon...

Has anyone already point out that Checkpoint segment leader boards need to be split by up vs. down? Either order by points or order by direction, then time, not just by time. A slow down hiller appears in the midst of fast up hillers! :-) G

How do you navigate around the map? It just shows me my home square. I can type in a place name and hit Go. But I want to just move to somewhere on a map. There are no place names up the hills! :-) G

This got me wondering what the longest connection in checkpoints is, think at 4 miles this is possibly the longest I've connected.

Is this something Fetch admin could answer?

Sorry seem to have beaten my best by logging cycling as a run, but in my defense it is logged and imported from Tom Tom who says it is a cycle, anyway to be honest and give them back as I just did with my early bird badge, watch is still in GMT
