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.

First to Last! Well, probably close to first anyway. This morning's parkrun was estimated at 22:45 (based on a fortnight ago), and with the watch started at "1" of the 3-2-1-go! and stopped a few steps after the finish line, at 22:47, that looked to be almost spot on target. Alas, the once-round-the-loch parkrun came up short on the GPS, so hasn't counted 😕 But the warm down, which included coffee and cake with @Dvorak @JammyLu and @HappyG(rrr) , puts me in a clear last place, so I'll take my Lanterne Rouge instead. 😆 Had a good parkrun, and a good Fetchie catchup, which is what really counts. |

Lol Andy, I saw 1h28 or whatever results said and wondered what happened! Great to see you and D and Lucy, partner and 3 month old Lachlan. Glad to see you running so well again too. Quite right LipGloss all about Fetchie friends, inc those who we'll not see again, which makes seeing those we can all the more special. |

I think that everyone in the world will have had a chance to partake now and we have a winner! @westmoors is extremely unlucky to come second with just one second out from the prediction. The 2024 winner of the Dr K Cup is @Leatherback who was bang on prediction to the second. What an incredible run. It will take me a few weeks to sort your trophy as my trophy man is away but I will sort as soon as I can. Please fmail your address and I will arrange. Thanks again all for taking part and entering into the spirit in memory of some lovely departed people. Thanks to @fetcheveryone for the automation, you are a fine human. Until next year.x |

I have just been perusing back and noticed the idea we wear a band tshirt for the run I didn’t do a pic yesterday but as I’d forgotten to pack a running T I was actually running in my Aerosmith tshirt!
