Do you want me to investigate Sandy? It may not have much else going for it... but it's got a track, and good transport links!

I can maybe look at availability/cost of local track in Harlow, (Essex)?

Sandy was good last time we were there. I don't know the Harlow track.

GlennR Harlow track has toilets & showers, good transport links and a parkrun close by. I need to check availability. What cost can we reasonably go up to and any idea, very roughly, how many Fetchies are likely to attend?

Yes please, Ed But it does sound like there might be a bit less interest this year? If Sandy or Cambridge were to happen how many takers are there? |

I think if it was at Harlow that would be at least a two hour drive for me so probably too far. Sadly.

Cambridge track is now £60 per hour, so for 2 hours we need a minimum of 24 people prepared to pay £5 each. I made a significant loss when I last organised one (2021 I think?). If there are enough people to make it worthwhile I’ll enquire about availability. I’d be very keen to keep it to a fetch mile, rather than a broader running community event though

Harlow would be over 2 hours for me too but would consider it. Sandy is closer for me personally but I'd just be very grateful for anyone to organise a Fetchtogether Jingle mile. Rich also included anyone interested from his running club to help share the costs. My local running track cost twice as much as Rich paid at Cambridge. |

Sandy is £20 per hour (assuming just track - i.e. no throw or jumps, and no floodlights). I'll enquire about availability.
