HappyG(rrr) Mar 2017 10:06am, 10 Mar 2017 26,469 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Did I miss when Fetch updated the race details page? Now has the race route, including elevation e.g. http://www.fetcheveryone.com/viewracedetails.php?id=869386 Brilliant stuff - better than any other race listings on any other website. G

It's there for some of them but not for others so I think it relies on users having named the routes in the route section using the race name. If I have time I will put the routes of some races that I have done into the routes section in this way.
fetcheveryone Mar 2017 10:18am, 10 Mar 2017 18,226 posts	0 fetcheveryone Thanks folks I've been meaning to post a list of races that are missing routes - because I think it does encourage new visitors when they see the extra info.

HappyG(rrr) Mar 2017 11:41am, 10 Mar 2017 26,471 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) That might be a peculiarity of how Fetch does parkruns. Are they "pre-copied" by the system, because they repeat weekly. Maybe an enhancement for him to look at. Good suggestion Stu. G
The_Saint Mar 2017 1:28pm, 10 Mar 2017 5,990 posts	0 The_Saint I made the ever so humble suggestion that there might be a field entirely user updated and optional with no guarantees or anything else where one could put a URL to the race results. I am completely aware of the myriad of weird and wonderful ways that results are done and that they may randomly disappear or be moved.
Surrey Phil Mar 2017 1:38pm, 10 Mar 2017 1,881 posts	0 Surrey Phil If we notice the route has changed or is simply incorrect, can anyone change it or has it got to be the person who loaded it in the first place? Also, can you change the mile markers to km and vice-versa? Otherwise, it looks great!
StuHolmes Mar 2017 1:42pm, 10 Mar 2017 1,407 posts	0 StuHolmes If you click the 'cog' next to View Elevation, you can add a route-id. Haven't tried it though.
