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!

Sweetpeas - we are slow and looking to take about 18 months.

Minardi - I worked out that if it's 12 regions at around $43 per region (Laz has said he expects later regions to become cheaper) then it's about $500, or just over $1 per day.

Around 3000 miles each but some people may do more, others less, and over 18 months ut's just under 5 miles per day.

I would be entering a multisport team which allows for "any human powered activity", so not just walking/running.

At the mo, the wife and I are definites, so 8 more people.

Vixx - a couple of questions from me (and probably on behalf of lurkers too):

1. Are you planning to keep the same team throughout the event?

2. What if a participant doesn't quite manage the 3,000 miles in the 18 months?

I will keep the same team as far as I can, but if people wish to drop out then ideally if they could help find a replacement that would be awesome. We must have 10 members each region as far as I know.

You can't change a team member until a region is completed, but you then also only have to stump up $43 at a time. You get a medal for each region.

I don't mind doing extra mileage if I need to - the 3000 is an average across the 12 regions (about 3016 miles each), and am sure other people might do more too if they want tooo.
