I have now officially retired the mascots from their duty on the course, but you can continue to check your progress on the challenge for as long as you need. Probably a good idea for you to create a shortcut to the challenge page, as it'll disappear from the home page at some point soon. You can do this by going to the challenge page, and clicking the star icon on the right-hand-side of the menu bar.

um Oct 2023 4:45pm, 31 Oct 2023 7,838 posts	0 um I'm not sure of a route, but besides F'laps, "20 years of Fetch" could well be a theme. I'll have a think, and also throw it open to the site, to see if there's something suitable for each of the strands - like 20 checkpoints, each with a significance for a year - or even something completely different and Olympic sport themed (or a Paris/Seine virtual route or TBC)

And whilst folks might be willing to share that with locals, they might be less keen having a couple of hundred virtual runners descending (and knowing where they live).
um Oct 2023 5:05pm, 31 Oct 2023 7,843 posts	0 um Is that why you had to move Fetch?
