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!

ok 2 things left to organise .. who wants to meet up before the race in fort knox? And straight after finishing?

Last year I was waiting for 3 hours so it is always nice to be able to chat a bit ...

And after the race I was thinking maybe we could meet up by the meeting point letter F?

Anyone interested?

Fort Knox is a hell of a warm-up run.

Starting at 10.20am but hoping to be done 3 hours later...

I'm up for that though, but maybe not after as I'll just want to get back and showered before the beers start flowing.

I ran NYC in 2007, and the biggest bit of advice is to go prepared against the cold. You will have to get to staten island at around 6am and wait about 4 hours before the race, and there is very little shelter from the weather. Take a cardboard box, it gives you something to sit on. Trust me all the homeless people know what they are doing! I got mine from a skip outside a shop in manhatten. Also take some warm clothes you can throw away at the start. I bought some really cheap tat in a souvenir shop in time square, bottoms, hat and hoodie for $20 !!
and unless you like bagels and coffee for breakfast pre-marathon take a packed breakfast! HAVE FUN......its a fab race!
