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'm in :)

- was later than previous as couldn't get the system to accept my "unique code" and then it struggled with my EA reg number.

In previous years, 10 am would have been too late. Is it less popular or are there more place?

Also tempted by the new Hertfordshire half at Knebworth, which is the week before I think. One or other will be run more for fun and one at effort

It's on 1684 of 1750 now - not sure how many places there were in past years but that's still pretty full for day 1 of entries!

That sounds interesting (I won't suggest it to the work posse I've recruited for St Neots, they'll think I'm trying to kill them - this is of course not true, I wouldn't let the people I'd like to kill at work anywhere near the stuff I do for fun).
One of them did a mostly-trail half in October last year somewhere around here, can't for the life of me remember what it was though.

Harvest Trail at Therfield Heath, Royston? Although it is in September. fetcheveryone.com/viewracedetails.php?id=2459377

It is a very well organised scenic event put on by Royston Runners.

Is your workplace mostly-trail runner one of your work posse or one you'd like to kill?

Lode half-marathon is mostly trail - couple of weeks before St. Neots. Usually clashes with Bonfire Burn 10k.

Oh, that’s a nice route, bits of my long trail training routes in there. Doing a trail marathon that day though.

Not that one, though. She’s part of the posse, there is no overlap between distance runners and colleagues I’d like to kill now I come to think of it (distance runners and colleagues who’d like to kill me might be another story!)

There is a pleasing list of Fetchies entered for next Sunday's St Neots half.

It would be nice to make a Fetchival of this and say hello to each other, it used to be a Thing, but the last couple of years (since the new organisers) it hasn't been quite so sociable.

Anyone up for a pre-run meet-up and photo, like the olds days?

I remember that photo shoot and meeting all those Fetchies :-) - unfortunately it was taken just as I was queueing for the baggage storage :-(
