The Doctor K Cup
98 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.

Well that was an epic prediction fail. Prediction 31.45 Actual: 29.13 (at 3.13m) although my training run says 5k 31.20 not sure why. Anyway I’ll take a clear sub 30min 5k anytime as I genuinely didn’t believe I had that in me at the moment!! |

Stopped to take the photo (and it took me a while to get the K right - didn't really manage it as you see) so the timing is all wrong, but it doesn't matter a bit - was thinking of all those I know who loved to run and no longer can, for all sorts of reasons, but especially those who died too soon. |

I had a race last weekend so low balled my prediction but managed to sneak 43 seconds under it.

I’ve fallen foul of Epworth Equestrian only measuring 3.07 miles so my run doesn’t count. ☹️
