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!

Yeah, I'd rather pay less for the race & not get a t shirt. I'm with t'others above!

FF - actually I did notice that in the last race I entered, it's a good idea.

there isn't enough imagination shown imo - what about mugs, plastic travel cups, water bottles, little gym towels... soooo many options, and yet we always end up with a T.

those drawstringy bags are useful too... and buffs, buffs would be good.

I have a towel, loads of mugs, bookmark, drawstring bags and probably a ton of other stuff I've forgotten about.

You're doing the wrong races Lyns ;)

I'd rather none of it to be honest. Dont mind tech tees as long as they fit (xsmall please race organisers), but give me a cup of water and a banana post race and I'm happy. Cup of tea always nice in the winter too.

No bananas thanks (bork) but a nice salty packet of crisps or peanuts is always welcome :)

I like race T's of any description, except for huge one size fits no-one ones, but I haven't done enough races to be cluttered up with them yet :)

I think it would be nice for organisers to advertise what memento they ate offering - that way I can choose my races based on what cheap tat I need.

Are offering, not "ate offering" obviously.

Actually, last year's. EHH20 had a very useful sports bag.
