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!

It seems that the weekend of the 16th/17th of June looks quite popular

Poll created here: http://www.fetcheveryone.com/polls-view.php?id=2859

I've avoided local race dates, other Fetch events, and Maldon Tri as I know there are some of *them* kicking around.

Track looks to be free on all of these dates, depending on how we want to do it, we can either get a block booking on the track or pay individually (cheaper) but then the risk of having other users there to.

Of course Nellers.

Still trying to prise a final answer from the Council. An event application was submitted, I met with the head of parks, who loved the idea. He had a few questions and concerns which I allayed, so am waiting to get the final go ahead for the test, and then parkrun proper.

I'm loath to make things much more public, in terms of FB/Twatter pages until I have that final go ahead, then it will be a big push to up the volunteer numbers to make it a reality. I've offers from a few of the local clubs and running pals to volunteer, just need that final go ahead.

Keep on watching this space. It's only taken a year so far :-o

Looks like Sat 16th June is the hot favourite.

Who can't make this date?

About This Thread

Maintained by SouthendAl
I never seem to be able to make the Fetch Miles, too far, wrong date, day before a target race, etc.

So I'd better organise my own!

General idea at the moment is a mile, plus extras, sometime in the summer (June or July?), in Southend at Garons Park.

Who's up for it, any particular dates to avoid? Join the group and let's race!
