The Doctor K Cup

The seventh annual Doctor K Cup will take place on Saturday October 19th 2024
All you need is a GPS watch or app. On the day, RUN AT LEAST 5K WITHOUT LOOKING AT YOUR WATCH. The Fetch Benchmark system will pull out your fastest 5k from your run (so you can include it as part of your long run if you like). The person who gets closest to their prediction will be declared the winner (though the judges decision is final!).
It would be lovely if you could upload your 'K' pics to the gallery (make a K shape with your fingers) to help us remember Doctor K and all the Fetchies we have lost.
NB A GPS watch reporting 5.00km will do so from 4995 metres onwards, but you MUST run at least 5000 metres or more. To avoid disappointment add an extra 10 seconds on to the end of your run, just to make sure.

I'll start by thanking Fetch and Joopsy for organising this. Congrats to SooWoo for the win. I was without WiFi so couldn't upload my time until last night. Not that it matters as I was 53 seconds out - the joys of using a new to me parkrun! |

I found it particularly hard to follow this thread this year, especially when JulesR said that Stevce had talked about it with him back in March  Thank you Joopsy & Fetch for organising it again. |
