London Marathon ballot email.... It's a no!

[Week7]

Hi there all. Just found my email about the ballot for 2024. It's a no for me again. Has anyone had a "yes" for me to cheer on?

[AlMorr Half Marathon]

Sorry about that Week 7, it's just luck of the draw, some people apply for it the first time and get in, others apply as much as SEVEN times and don't get in.

[Week7 Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Hi Al. I hope that you aee keeping well.I'll keep trying. Maybe one day , and if not then it wasn't meant to be. As you say , its the luck of the draw!

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to Week7]

Thanks Week7, I am keeping very well, as the old saying goes, "if you don't exceed once try, try and try again"

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles]

Shame you didn't get in again,

[Week7 Half Marathon in reply to SueAppleRun]

Yep one of those disappointed / relieved moments! Added a bit of excitement to my day when I first saw the email!

[MissUnderstanding Half Marathon]

No for me too. Sad times! Sending sympathy your way xxx

[Week7 Half Marathon in reply to MissUnderstanding]

[GTFC Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Alan. I've run the Virtual London Marathon 4 times so hoped I'd do the real thing this time. Maybe next year my friend 😊

[Cmoi Marathon]

[Oldfloss Administrator]

Oh blow! Never mind... your turn will come !

[Week7 Half Marathon in reply to Oldfloss]

[00marks Marathon]

A no for me as well 😞

[Week7 Half Marathon in reply to 00marks]

Keep trying!!

[TailChaser Marathon]

Nope, no joy this year. Got a no for the 2nd ballot of the London Landmarks as well just to add insult to injury but I’ll be running that one for Tommy’s anyway. One day you’ll get there Week7 🤞🤞🤞

[Week7 Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

London landmarks looks great! I will keep entering the London Marathon ballot .Maybe one day!

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Week7]

Keep going Week7, it took me 3 goes, someone has to get those places. London Landmarks isn’t even a bit as competitive but I’ve never got in to that in their ballot 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

I didn’t apply, I was scared I’d get drawn . 😱

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Me too 😂

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon]

Im a NO too, although I must admit Im not sure what I would have done if it had been a yes!😬

[Week7 Half Marathon in reply to Hedgehogs123]

I have to admit disappointment/relief were finely balanced after receiving the ballot result .
