Not me, I think I'd have the screaming heebie-jeebies in the middle of a crowd like that! 😱

Good luck to those of you who have entered the ballot! 🀞

I don’t do crowds either, solo is my company πŸ˜‰. And I can run (and have run) most of that route already. Not much to see from Greenwich to the Tower Bridge though, from where the real fun starts. Very best of luck to all who are waiting for the announcement though! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

I’m checking mine too. But if I was successful there’s no WAY I could run a FM this year! If I couldn’t defer (my friend was able to the year she got in), I’d need to seriously Jeff my way around. I’d so love to do it though, and I’ll keep trying every year. I’m not interested in any other marathons, but London is special. πŸ₯°

Ok final offer, both kidneys but you can’t have them until I’ve run the marathon. Joking aside, I am genuinely so desperate to run it that I would actually give an organ 😩

Have you tried asking for a charity place?

Lookslikejames profile image
LookslikejamesMarathon in reply to roseabi

Yeah I have, got rejected for a few, but I had one come back yesterday that said they haven't heard from all the people they selected so I may get a place on Friday. Ideally I would like to get in through the ballot and do it for a charity so they get all the proceeds

Cool! But yes, a ballot place would be ideal - fingers crossed for you!!

Not possible I'm afraid. They'll release the emails in batches during the course of the week! πŸ˜‚

Not me. I don't think I can find the time to work up to a full marathon distance at the moment.
