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 really do need to start hunting out some races. For the past few years I've really shied away from it but I think I need the challenge. And I need to stop this solitary running thing that I've talked myself in to over the past 8 years. I most certainly need the training!

Whilst browsing, I saw that the G2E is "taking a break" for 2020. It also looks like it never went ahead in 2019. 2018 had an unusually high number of DNFs (possibly weather related). Anyone ken anything about this? Have the organisers (Resolute Events) just jacked it?

(As a good chunk is on "my" patch, I have had the crazy thoughts that maybe, one day ...)

I heard recently that someone else is going to take G2E over from Resolute Events, can't remember who it was though......

It was a lovely event. Duchess was a marshal the year I did it, I think. Or was it Sarah Self? Remember when Pestomum did it, back when Fetch was all fields? :-) G

Ultracat that Pestomum year also, when Marcus Minimus won it. In a later year, I ran a bit (to the big tunnel) with becca7, and then again with Plodding Hippo and kstuart. In fact ~rummages~ ... :-)

I really enjoyed the G2E on my one try (2012). Growing up near the canal it just seemed to make sense to run to Embra on it.

Nothing like having an adventure just to get to a race K5. Puts me in mind of driving over the back road to Trinafour and by Schiehallion through a wild storm en route to the Loch Rannoch Marathon!
