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!

I don't know if your like me not that interested in medals like for 10ks Halfs even some marathons. Things like VLM yes and Disney Marathon, Foxy spinning medals the Grim Reaper all nice to keep but I've got a collection of 'tat' from stuff like Bushey Quarter Marathon, St Albans Runathon (ok I made that up) what is the point I'd much rather a mars bar, decent tee shirt or Stone Paperweight (Snowdon).

What does everyone else think ?

I too like my big event medals, but I prefer a nice tshirt I can wear running (not like the crud you now get from VLM). Maybe rather than a medal they can offer free photos?

I agree - or a mug - Penny Lane striders used to give you a mug, but they don't any more. Or something - anything - else.

I believe Birchwood 10k give you a towel instead - which sounds far better - but I DNS the year I entered because my husband wasn't well enough to mind the kids.

Excellent idea, for some anyway. I could be in and out of the finish funnel almost without breaking stride, but I'd probably go round again.
