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.

Stuck at work today and didn't think a treadmill was in the spirit of things, even if I cover the screen I have to set the speed so going to hopefully go for a run in the dark when the better half is home tonight at about 21:00

Mr J
Managed my first run for 3 weeks. Time was not great compared to my best.

Was hoping to head out for a walk, but my body has other ideas. Whilst I'll not be doing 5k, I'll be thinking of our lost Fetchies.

No idea where that quicker bit came in, always forget that the Fetch algorithm finds the fastest! Well done everyone with Ks and wow to the spot on and those within a few seconds of prediction! RIP Fetchies gone but never forgotten. G |
