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!

Another "thank you" for you HB. You had us all very well organised.
I think you are entitled to be tired after the busy day you have had.

It was great to see such a gathering of Fetchies - those I have met before and one who are new to me. Shame I didn't get to speak to everyone.

And another thank you from me.

Nice to catch up with people and meet some new Fetchies.

Despite only having run a mile and a quarter and a bit, I'm feeling really tired tonight!

Thanks to all involved in setting this up, especially Hellsbells, and all those taking part. Great meet up event. And to Badger for being a good sport: might not get away with that next year!

Ha! You ran a great finish and I probably ran faster than I would have in the previous heat - trying to hang on to people a little faster than me spurs me on!

Oh and EdJ you should definitely have been in heat 4, looking at your times at the other distances!

Many many thanks, HB, great organisation & I've missed these events. Good seeing you all & if I didn't say more than hello to you, sorry, just so many people to talk to!

I was certainly trying my hardest in the mile - and couldn't have gone any faster on the day. I've always been better at the very short stuff or very long stuff!

EdJ I felt sure you were going to pass Kerry on the home straight.

My Hamstrings are doing a great job of reminding me what a good day we all had yesterday. Ouch!

Thankfully I didn’t push hard so my hamstring/pirifomis is behaving :-)

About This Thread

Okay, here it is. Again. And again. And yet again. And once more. And this time with feeling. And this time in the summer which probably means it's going to piss it down. And now again at Christmas. And this time not even in East Anglia, really (which is probably just as well). And back in Cambridge with bells on. And this time it's a bit Disnae. Yet again, eighth time for luck. Like Tokyo 2020, Jingle Mile 2020 has been postponed to 2021 but we can't afford a rebrand. Instead there is a Virtual Jingle Mile. Make up your own swears. And back for a Not The Jingle Mile 2020 In 2021 thanks to Hells Bells. The Jingle Mile 2020 is happening in 2022, thanks to the magic of television. (It's not the magic of television.)

Saturday 3 December 2022
12:00pm - 2:00pm

Cost £5.00

Directions to the track:

DON'T ENTER WILBERFORCE ROAD FROM MADINGLEY ROAD!

It's blocked off about a hundred yards down.

From M11 - Exit at J12 (A603, Sandy & Cambridge), follow the A603 along Barton Road to Grange Road on your left. Up Grange Road to Adams Road on your left. The entrance to the track is at the end of Adams Road.

From A14 Eastbound - Exit at J31. Follow A1307 Huntingdon Road towards Cambridge city centre. Follow signs for A1134 Ring Road and turn right onto Mount Pleasant and follow the one-way system down onto Madingley Road. Turn right onto Madingley Road, first left onto Grange Road, and second right onto Adams Road. The entrance to the track is at the end of Adams Road.

From A428 Eastbound - Exit for Cambridge and American Cemetary. Follow the signs for Cambridge city centre past the American Cemetary, across the M11 bridge, Churchill College on your left until you reach Grange Road where you turn right. Take the second right onto Adams Road. The entrance to the track is at the end of Adams Road.

From A14 Westbound - Exit at J31 onto the M11 Southbound and follow the directions above.

For anyone who is coming by train, there is now a bus service U from the railway station to Robinson College, Grange Road, which leaves a half mile walk along Adams Road to the Wilberforce Road University Track.

You could also walk from the station. It's a couple of miles. Head out of the station and onto Station Road, right onto Hills Road then follow that all the way into the city centre to Petty Cury. Turn left there and go down onto the Market Square. Cross the square diagonally then bear down the side of Great St Mary's. Turn right at the end then immediately left down Senate House Passage. Follow Trinity Lane round to the right and then left onto Garrett Hostel Lane. Over the bridge then straight on over Queens Road and up Burrell's Walk. Bear right at the end and up onto Adams Road. The track is at the end of Adams Road.

Swimmers and paratroopers, you're on your own. Weirdos.
