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.

Ran around my local home route, bagged a SB by 2 seconds according to the Benchmarks tab. Not checked against my predicted time yet. |

- out by 6 seconds, good enough for 4th place at the moment. Not bad!

Brain fart at the end of a very wet parkrun saving my run even though it was short. Official DQ but was 26 seconds over on parkrun time. Too wet to remember to do a K!

Do we take our official parkrun time, our garmin time, our benchmark time or something else? [As an aside, any idea why my benchmark time is faster than my predicted time?] I shed a few tears in the rain whilst running thinking of our departed fetchies - especially our Stevce. |

We didn't do our planned parkrun so I did a run/walk with Jigs, this means I am at least 5 mins slower, I also forgot to do the K 🤦🏼♀️
