Will you guys be at the fetchpoint for the half marathoners as well as the marathoners? (So I can decide whether to wear my fetch vest or not!) :-)

We couldn't get there early enough for the really fast half runners last year but made it for the pack.

I'll check the bus timetable to see if I can get an earlier one this year.

Don't worry I definitely would be more in the pack!

Ok, so for anyone who can come along, this is where we fetchpointed last year:

https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en-GB&gbv=2&q=musselburgh&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x4887b90c19e93b8d:0x67547fcfb63c5f67,Musselburgh,+East+Lothian&gl=uk&ei=dltyU5GHNeOV0QW2z4GgDw&ved=0CB4Q8gEoADAA

It's Links View, Musselburgh if my link is as bad as I think it might be. The relay teams change over on the open field opposite but all the half and full runners will come past (I have a feeling it's about 7-8 miles in, from memory?) and if anyone then wants to go to the finish, that's probably 10-15 minutes walk away across the river.

Yep, the link is as bad as I thought it might be! It just goes to Musselburgh, rather than the street.

This might work better but don't bank on it: maps.google.co.uk

We are fast approach race weekend now. Anyone else supporting partners, family, friends, whoever on Sunday and maybe like to join our lovely Duchess (and maybe katypie) with a little fetching group??

Pretty please. :-) :-)

I'll be running in my Fetch t-shirt and I'm encouraging AKG and my daughter to join you at Fetchpoint. :-)

I am considering myself encouraged! Yes, that sounds like a good idea. We will be fetchpointing I reckon. There may be non-fetchie parent types there too, but as long as they don't eat all the sweeties, they should be fine :)

Can't you put my parents at mile one so I can get them out of the way quick?
