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!

Woodley was great and we felt very welcomed. Despite a bottle neck at the beginning DS2 PB'd. And DD enjoyed the ducks quaking her on each lap

Inverness was very friendly, in fact a nice man said welcome to Inverness when he passed me (I was wearing Stonehaven club kit). I spoke to him about our new parkrun.

We have a marshal point at a little bridge with the silliest knee-high bollards in the centre of the path. The briefing for that marshal always includes the instruction to shout 'Bollards!' at frequent intervals. :-)

If anyone is heading to Leicester for the marathon or half marathon this weekend and hoping to take in a parkrun, please note that Leicester Victoria is cancelled. The nearest parkrun is Braunstone, where I will be.
