Me too. I was beginning to worry as getting through this year would cause problems but I think I will try again next year. 😀

[Anniemurph Graduate10]

I think there are loads, Gra - I've only seen two people who have got a place. Sorry you're disappointed though Fingers crossed for next year!

[givman in reply to Anniemurph]

Sharon never mind there are other marathons we can try for!!

Me too - no and so far none of my running group got a place the odds have to be worse than 1 in 5 😢

[givman in reply to sharon1978]

Yes there are other marathons we can try for

Gra😄😄

Lol😄😄

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to givman]

Ha Ha 😂 think I'd get onto ripoff Britain and watchdog as well! 😁😁

[Irish-John Graduate10]

I know how disappointing you must feel but I would be so thrilled if I thought I could even apply. Being at the level of Marathon Running is awesome in and of itself. Best wishes for next year

[givman in reply to Irish-John]

Cheers john!!

Oh, that's disappointing Gra, bad luck🙁. Maybe do a practice 😉 marathon next year somewhere else, and keep trying for the big one!

[givman in reply to Sandraj39]

Yes Sandra but got sum good news my daughter got a place!

😄😄

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to givman]

Great! All the excitement with none of the pain!!☺

[givman in reply to Sandraj39]

lol yes😄😄

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Bunters.... next year! :)....Clearly, judging from these replies, they are afraid that you are all too fast!

[givman in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks but every cloud had a silver lining my daughter had got a place!

😄😄

[ancientrunner Graduate10]

Me too - and a work colleague.

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to ancientrunner]

Wow! Good for you - very exciting🙂

[ancientrunner Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Think I've led you astray - we didn't get places. Probably just as well. I keep applying for things and then wondering what on earth I thought I was doing.

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to ancientrunner]

Oh, sorry! I read the post above and misunderstood!

[givman in reply to Sandraj39]

😃😄😃😃🏃

[nhs2015 Graduate10]

Why would they knock you back? Is it a question of too many people? Or do they feel a person is not fit enough? Or is it a lottery?

[ancientrunner Graduate10 in reply to nhs2015]

It is a ballot. I did read 269,000 entrants for 17 or 19,000 places so we were all sort of expecting it!

[givman in reply to ancientrunner]

Yes sum you win some you lose!

[givman in reply to nhs2015]

Yes it's a lottery!
