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!

This looks interesting - people have done their weekends before and enjoyed them, right?

I did one in Brecon last Feb and thought it was great. It set me up for the road race season - 4 PBs (5 miles, 10k, 15 miles and marathon - took 44mins off my marathon PB), and the cup in my club's road race champs (vets category).

I was seriously thinking about this, but managed to get into the Northumberland Coastal run this year, so I have booked myself into a b&b for the weekend as it's a looooooong way from home for me. Can't really afford to do both - either financially or time-wise, so I will have to give this a miss for the time being.

Would thoroughly recommend one of these weekends if anyone is thinking about it :-)

Tec - no idea about if anyone is doing the June weekend, but they are a good weekend of running. :) That's from my own personal opinion as a beginner/intermediate runner.
