So we have had some online challenges between the two website before, now here is the chance to compete for real.
Next year’s Sydling Hill race and Giants Head Marathon will be a RW vs. Fetch championship challenge.
The format is simple. Enter either of the races on our website www.whitestarrunning.co.uk or on RW Events on Friday, entries open on Friday 5th October join us on Facebook search for Giants Head Marathon on pages. The website is still in a Beta stage but will be ready on Friday
Sign up for a team on Fetch or RW (choose carefully no changing sides once you have signed up). You then have until the 29th of June ‘13 to prepare yourself to beat the opposition.
On race day it doesn’t matter which side has the most entrants, it’s about overall speed, the fastest cumulative speed of both races combined, wins. The winning team will receive winner’s certificates from White Star and the losing side, wooden spoon certificates.
Plus the overall fastest male and female runner in each race, using the WAVA system, will win a special prize from one of our friends at the Dorset Brewing Company and Lush cosmetics.
White Star will be launching threads this month on both websites, with Kittenkat leading the team on RW and Ultra Sparkly Bridget championing the Fetch teams.
And both USB and KK will be racing on the day.
Remember this is for fun and a bit of banter too.
White Star is a new, not for profit company. Our aim is to organise great affordable running events in Dorset, Hampshire and South Wilts. For runners like you and me. I have been a member of Fetch and RW forum for years and love you all.
Cheers Goldbeetle

Hang on I thought you were Emmy Bug is this your married name now?
Technically i've always been Emmy_H Luckily hubby's last name starts with the same letter. I changed it from Emmy_Bug as that was a nickname I used to have.
Nice.
Ignore the prices on the website they are wrong its £25 and £27 for the marathon and £10 and £12 for the 10k
a sociable opportunity indeed
as expected Fetch are all over this and will kick RW a$$ LOL
I think that RW could give them a run for their money... saying that - we need to have more than KK, Mark Watson and me
Like the idea of this
*wanders in to see who is in here*
I fink when we open the entry people will get interested
Run, beer, food, medal and tshirt of man with big willy, camping in a nice part of the world
Very likely I will be in as well although I will probably just get you a participation rather than time bonus.
I think that will apply to a lot of us
Thing is though Fetchies are no whippets either its a surprisngly even playing ground
Apparently I may well be in aswell !!!
However given its a full marathon, I just need to ensure the website can cope with 'days' for estimated completion time !!
Looks like it will have to be the 10k for me as its the week before Outlaws....bit of a long way to go for a 10k but i'm sure it wil be worth it
oh and GO RW
You will meet Sister bad habit tho Tommy
Oh I have meet her a few times before, it normally means heavy drinking session
I'm in
Will be Team Fecth though!
Yep entries are open
remember first 200 places are guaranteed the next 37,000 go into a ballot
