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!

I've done Rome, Nelski. Fantastic course, you will love it (apart from the long stretch of cobbles near the end.....ouch!)

If you haven't heard yet, check your junk mail, that's where I found my rejection email.

I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere before but does anyone have some breakdowns of London Marathon entrants? GFA, Charity, Ballot etc. Would find it very interesting and depressing.

How many spots were the 247,000 ballot entries shooting for?

I think it was calculated there were circa 25K places to shoot for, is a 1 in 10 chance.

Didn't get in. A wee bit disappointed but I'll get over it!
