Not groups, one big mass, but if you have any special requests, we can take care of it.

Fetch could answer this, but is participation by VLM by Fetchies going down? 520 in 2013, last time I did it, 202 this year? Is that because there are more, other races now or to do with types of races that Fetchies like to do changing? Or is it something simple like of the 91K Fetchies a lot of them have joined and added races from before they were Fetchies (so in 5 years time, the 2018 VLM will have 500 Fetchies too, they're just not all members yet)?

Select count(*), race_date from race_table where race name like 'VLM%' group by fetchie_name

or somesuch? Fanks! :-) G

I think there are less Fetchies generally, and therefore less running London. Back in 2011, I think we had over 1000 at VLM - but that was before the big money got into fitness tracking - there are a lot of dollars invested in it now ($41M of venture capital in $trava? Did I read that right?) . It's a much more competitive market now.

I’ll be running this year - race number is 20551, and I will be looking something like this, except more knackered!
