The Doctor K Cup
97 watchers
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.

Velociraptor says it so well, adding my congratulations and thanks, although I was way off I did spend time reflecting on lost Fetchies ❤️

The most historic aspect of the 2024 race was @bigleggy beating me by a considerable margin!

Thanks for organising Joops and Fetch. It's such a lovely annual memorial day. I just looked at the list again and a good few Fetchies who I'd met in real life and more still that I felt I had known from online friendships and chat over the years. Very poignant. RIP Fetchies past.
