    Not received any confirmation yet. A poster on runners world got under the 3.05 with 15 seconds to spare.

    Do you know if it was a male or female poster?

    If male that basically should mean that everyone got in if they applied.

    Edit: Just found that post and it was for a MV40 time band they scraped under by 15 seconds.

    Just saw on Twitter that someone in the under 40 category got in with a 29 second buffer. Looks like all that applied got in. Still no confirmation for me though.

    If you've not yet had the email then give them a phone call, seems that everyone who applied got in as have seen further posts for people with only 5 seconds under the time getting confirmations now.

    Got my email confirmation at 10:59…had tried to call the number but not connecting. Looks like they are a bit behind on the emails but glad to get the green light for my 1st London Marathon!

    Think they have admitted to there being email issues at their end now and have stopped answering the phone. If you are able to login and pay via this link then that means you are in regardless of the email coming through:

    Yeah, same here. Didn't really think my time would have given me enough wiggle room to actually get in. Delighted.

    Think it was Wednesday or Thursday last few years before the emails came for me.

    Any predictions on what fancy dress outfits the runners on the cover of the magazines will be wearing? :)

    Totally forgot about this. Such is my confidence of getting a place. Think I had to wait until the Friday for rejection last year.

    Two red packages just landed on my doormat, although we both deferred so knew we were in anyway.

    Aaaagh, I just want to hear if I got my spot or not
    Making me wait is just making me want to take part even more. Smart lads these London folks.
    Go back a week, and I'd have been terrified of getting in, but now I have a serious dose of the FOMOs

    I didn’t get an ‘unsuccessful’ mail, is it a case that you get that or a successful notification in the post?

    I used a uk address (my mothers) that is not on the mainland so wondered if I may get something in the post in the coming days?

    I didn't get an email either. I used this. https://www.realbuzz.com/accounts/login/

    You need the email account and password you used to enter the ballot

    Thanks a mill, was unsuccessful which, is a relief seeing as just starting to taper for dcm;) was dreading being successful, my eyes were bigger than my belly back in May or whenever!
