Training's overrated.

£28 to enter, what a joke. Makes a mockery of every other big city marathon.

commiserations magazine again.

I haven't heard either way but it looks like a rejection as my details aren't recognised as being a successful application here.

Good thinking griffin100. No need to wait for the postman just input your details there to see if your in. I paid through that method yesterday and i didnt need any info that was posted to me.

Yep, I've entered for the last 4 years in a row and almost fell of my seat when the payment option appeared. TRR drafted in for another marathon plan, what are the odds on a calf tear in Feb/March

I think thats a foregone conclusion in fairness. Better ask around to see who wants your number now

Ok, I've put my details in and it says it doesn't recognise me, how insulting!
Not looking good...however I will continue to pray to the running gods until I get the rejection email... Maybe they haven't assigned overseas yet? (I'm extremely optimistic).

Failing that I'll do a GFA next year.

Congrats on securing your places, those of you who have....
Jealous, moi? DEFINITELY

Hey Shels did you get in via the UK or the international lottery?

International ballot, didnt receive anything in the post, but when I entered the login details I gave when I applied, it took me to the check out page to pay for the race.

griffin100 · 30-09-2011 8:15pm

Crap, that means I definitely didn't get a place

Congrats. Odds are massively stacked against you in international ballot.

A "black swan"

Sorry to hear that, It was my 4th time trying to enter this race, its one that I've always wanted to do at least once.

01-10-2011 4:02pm

Entered my details and no luck:( really wanted to kick that courses arse next year after the dismal run this year.

NeedsTraining · 01-10-2011 11:33pm

Looks like I am not in either, ah well.

shels4ever · 03-10-2011 4:16pm

Just received the Email with confirmation of the place in the race, race number etc.

tHE vAGGABOND · 03-10-2011 4:19pm

P.F.O email just recieved - Paris it is then for me next April :cool:

Good luck and well done everyone who got in/gets in!

Marthastew · 03-10-2011 4:22pm

PFO email for me also....

Congrats to all who got in and best of luck with your training.

robinph · 03-10-2011 4:27pm

Was chatting with someone this morning who got a surprise when she got the "congrats you've got a place" letter through last week. Seems that one of her friends had entered her so that they would have company on the run as they had deferred places. Think she may have failed in the ballot a couple of times already though which seems to increase your chances a bit still.

She wasn't happy about the prospect of having to do the training now though.
