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!

Anyone done Budapest? I'm thinking of taking my 16 yr old son over for a long weekend in October. If I don't wimp out on the training.

Forgot to mention :)G re Tallinn. There is a free beer and food tent for those who do the marathon. Unfortunately we only found out on the plane home from a bloke who had 3 pints and 2 bowls of spag bol there.

*watches with interest* I would love to do Tokyo, my research so far has concluded it's only possible in practical terms through a sports tour company. I'd quite happily book my own flights and hotel it's the marathon entry that looked complicated. Hoping someone can correct me!

Looks like the application places for Tokyo has to be done in August, internet only, and that gets you into the lottery. 300 000+ applicants for 36 000 places means you have to be lucky! Other than that, you're looking at charity places or sports tour companies. Tokyo has only recently started to go down the charity route and only a small number of UK charities offer Tokyo as an option.
