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!

Kwala will you be going to the Chandos after? if so is it hard to get to from where we will be? I guess what I really need to know is if I want to meet up with Cardiosaurus after he finishes will I be able to get to the finish before him? assuming after 48 miles he isn't still running quickly ;)

I walk form Fetchpoint to Chandos (the tube are heaving by the afternoon and it's quite a pleasant walk)
I think it takes about half an hour or so. You can easily jog from Fetchpoint to the finish quick enough.

I will be going to the Chandos, but I'll be at FP until the last Fetch runner is through - tubes have settled down a bit by then but that might be too late for you to meet Cardiosaurus at the finish!!! Just checked on google maps and it''s just over 3 miles to Horse Guards Parade (think that's the post race meeting area?) from Fetchpoint.

If you do get the tube, it's about a 10min walk along the Highway to Tower Hill (may take longer as it'll be packed with spectators!!), then 5 or 6 stops along to Embankment, then a short walk at the other end.

Hi all, not long now! What time would you like us supporters to get to FP kwala? I was aiming for about 8.30 if that's early enough to help secure the area ;-)

8:30 is great, GR - there will be plenty of balloons needing to be blown up and tied to lampposts, trees and barriers. A couple of us are there from around 7:30, and then people gradually turn up from then on, depending on how far they have to come.

Here you go guys, this is what you're looking out for on Sunday - you might find there are a few other runners around by the time you come along though. (Pic courtesy of Girlie!!)

And that's a lot of balloons, if anyone can get along early to help with the inflation process it would be greatly appreciated.
