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 heard that the winner stole it from no. 2 by a sprint finish, and this is confirmed in the results. Amazing doing that course in average 6.XX minute miles all the way around.

Very exciting race this year, Brian Clough didn't run (did he start?), Mike Feighan was down at 8th, good old Tango was out in front then sadly didn't finish and a newcomer won it on the corner 50 yards from the finish.

Steve's going to be my personal support crew next year. I'm bringing a bodyguard...

The Fetch lady cheering you on was Lisa my OH. Luckily she was there for me at 21.5 miles when I dropped out. I didn't have rain proof gear, was soaked through, very very cold and having problems moving my fingers.Apart from that , I was fine!!
Now I know what to expect, I'll nail it next year!

Cheers M06, and to Lisa, she was great encouragement, could you pass on my thanks?

It was very very cold out there, was very tempting to mug a few marshalls for their rain jackets :-) Well done on getting so far.

I'm so glad you don't have photographic evidence of the little terrier........

sorry to hear that you had to drop out, moore. I would've been in bad trouble if I hadn't had another layer to put on around the same time, plus gloves and hat.

Next year I guess we can expect baking hot sunshine and temperatures in the 30s with humid still air! Who knows?!
