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!

Are the two races linked? I remember being given a flyer for Tatton Half at Altrincham Tram station on my way back from cheering the troops...

I think Malcolm Fowler (organiser of the Wilmslow half, amongst others) is involved but it's actually organised by the folks at MyTriathlon - they do the Capesthorne Hall & Tatton Park triathlons.

I got that email too and noticed the references!

BTW, I wasn't the only one to get a surprise age group prize from Manchester Marathon. My hubby also won his age group, apparently, even though he thought he was 15th M55! It seems the 14 blokes ahead of him were mere 50-54 year olds :)

Strange that out of 4,500 people two of the age prizes went to the same household innit? Spooky

Would have been a lot simpler if the results used the same categories as the prizes :)
