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!

Possibly going to have to dress up as a policeman or find a full on hazmat / bio suit?!

Whereas Glen Clova have emailed us to say race day weather is looking horrendous and to dress appropriately, and to look out for full cancellation emails. Boo. And they've made the cut off for the half mara 2:20, which used to be 3:00, which is pretty tough for some of our club runners who were hoping to just enjoy it.

My car has winter tyres. Hoping it's not full on snowing for the drive up or back though. :-) G

My colleague is signed up for Glen Clova but she's not going to go now because of the change in cut off. I think it's irresponsible for the race to go ahead when there's an amber weather warning in place.

They might still cancel it mrs s. They said Fri 8pm would be their last decision and to look out for emails. The forecast does look pretty dire now! :-) G

The weather forecast is so grim I am not even going to parkrun. Looks like if I get out early it will just be cold.

I did WoL in snow and ice at least one of my three years. Fell once

They must have heard you mrs s - Glen Clova cancelled. First time in 15 yrs that I've been going there that it's been cancelled for bad weather. I'm sure it's the right decision of course. Still disappointed though. :-) G

I think there was a planned meet-up at Elgin parkrun this Sat with Metro_Nome and Running Duck.

I’m having my loft hatch fixed at 08:00, so won’t be able to be there. Sorry to miss you @Metro_Nome

Yes that was our plan, but not sure if it will be safe to make the journey, or if Elgin will be on…
