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?

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.

Skiddle1 has a place Week7 , possibly a charity one rather than via the ballot. See this post: healthunlocked.com/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 🤞🤞🤞

London landmarks looks great! I will keep entering the London Marathon ballot .Maybe one day!
Reply (1)Report
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 🤷🏻♀️
Reply (1)Report
I didn’t apply, I was scared I’d get drawn . 😱
Reply (2)Report
Im a NO too, although I must admit Im not sure what I would have done if it had been a yes!😬
Reply (2)Report
I have to admit disappointment/relief were finely balanced after receiving the ballot result .
