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'm listening to an audio book and the narrator is awful. He has just pronounced "chasm" with a ch at the beginning, not a hard k. And his sentences keep trailing off- then he seems to realise he needs to finish it, so his prosody is all wrong and the sense is lost.
It's a good story tho, and there are multiple narrators, so I'll put up with it.

my local park run and the whole its supposedly for anyone / any speed etc.

I really want to go but looking at the results page, I would still be the slowest by a good 5-10 mins pretty much every week. Last time I went several years ago I was made to feel so shitty for holding them up :/

[That's crap B-Lass :( We have a dedicated walking group each week, some who run/walk and often come in behind them, then the tailwalker. I'd be horrified if I thought anyone was made to feel like they were holding anyone up :( ]

Parkrun tourists who want a volunteer credit and a run credit so ask for jobs that we either don't normally have or are already taken. Like the one asking to token sort, was told that we don't have that as a separate job but we do need barcode scanners and finish token helpers, and replied that they wanted to run as well and they'd try and do token sorting "on the day".
