    Yup I was thinking about trying the extra charity places but at 190 euro is out of my league. Amsterdam might be booked instead for 77 euro :)

    Decided to go back to Berlin try after my first sub 3 attempt there in 2008.
    Fast Good for Age entry. A lot has changed since.
    Even booked hotel & 10 months out! , never so early in all my events previously. Madness

    Eindhoven is €54 when registration opens up if you’re looking at a Dutch marathon.

    PFO late last night. Have been three times and love the race and the city. Got in twice before on the additional charity places, will let that slide this time.

    Good luck to all who got in and the best of training to ye.

    Is there anybody who has not yet heard one way or the other?

    I registered (confirmation received) but no update yesterday nor today. Are they ghosting me ?

    I did - I should've said. There's only emails from dodgy princes looking for cash, my IBAN or bitcoin ðŸ˜

    If I remember correctly, the money isn't taken until mid-december sometime, it should say it somewhere on your acceptance email.

    You need to pick one of the charities on that realbuzz page. I kept getting kicked out but managed to get in on my phone.
    Received an email from charity saying that my application has been submitted and that I will be contacted by the charity in due course. Hope I did this right.

    Pretty sure that's not it. Seems like that's the fund raising route. In a queue here myself......

    That's not for the 1000 places, the entries available today are a direct donation to one single charity that Berlin choose. You pay €190 and €65 is donated to their charity in return for a place. You've applied to fundraise for a charity and to get on to their tour and they rarely will give you just the entry, you'll be part of a group package.

    Eindhoven, Amsterdam, Köln, Frankfurt...... all flat to. Eindhoven & Amsterdam much cheaper than the German options.

    Thanks Barry......tbh I was only really on for Berlin, as a couple of mates are doing it and it would have been good craic as well. I could take or leave an overseas marathon right now apart from that. London 2020 will double as a family holiday so i'm pretty content to have a marathon free Spring and then have a serious rattle at DCM. Not hitting my goal in DCM this year has really made me want to run it more than ever next year......

    Got a place (first attempt). Spent the last week getting my head around it, wasn't expecting to get in.

    Anyone know if you can edit your order? I went a bit trigger happy at the time of ordering and picked merch which I now want to remove from my order? eek
