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!

Keep at it and you never know ...

Well done Muttley

Some races have the full range of Vet Prizes, some don't.

Well done Muttley

I took part in a Grand Prix event of four races a few years back and although I didn’t come in first place in any of the races, because I took part in them all I gained sufficient points to come top of my category.
There were far better runners than me taking part but you have to be in it to win it.

Well done :) That can be a viciously competitive age category. (I've sometimes taken the F50-59 prize in a local race because the person who was actually first in category was also in the first three overall.)

I once did a race where each (10 year) age group had an 18 year old malt for first, 12yo for 2nd and 'ordinary' 8yo for 3rd. I managed 3rd MV40 but my friend was the only FV70 and walked of with the good stuff!

Got something to say?

About This Thread

Maintained by Muttley
... you might land a pot one day even if you're just a mid- to back-of-the-pack plodder. Doesn't matter that I was the only contestant in this category. Or that most of the guys in the M65+ crowd were ahead of me by a country mile -- they've had more time to train, anyway.

You've got to be in it to win it!
