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!

Interesting perceptions Chiefy - I thought the NSPCC one was far more exciting than the Nike one - but admittedly, it IS Milton Keynes, so you're starting from a pretty low threshold...

Bath half is a bit dull. 2 laps and you don't see any of the nice bits.

I did a Regent's Park 10km once. The issue was it was basically three loops. First time it was fine, second loop mildly interesting, third loop was incredibly dull.

I am going to be stereotypical and say the thought of one lap around Luton is enough!

Agree with Ultracat about the Aberdeen 10k being fairly dull. Unfortunately most Aberdeen races (including our beloved parkrun) seem to take place largely along the beach prom (flat and straight, but frequently grey, windy and monotonous). The novelty does start to wear off after a while.

I haven't done Luton but I'm fascinated by it. Three laps of Luton? Bloody hell, that's a life sentence. (I spent a week in Luton one afternoon.)
