Just cranking through the training plan - it still seems a long time away or maybe I am just looking at my plan and going "uggh." I head out early April as well but hopefully they will have the international packs out in sufficient time for us. I haven't run it before so don't know when they arrived in previous years. |

Me neither jomo, I’m sure it will all work out. Ditto with the cranking. “Will it be sunny, will there be gales, we’ll have to wait and see”🎶 |

I now can't find that wee A5 flyer (I knew that would happen, I've probably put it somewhere "safe"!) Hope we don't need it. Any other tips on accommodation? I've booked something at the airport as a fall back. 50% more expensive than yours Steve and probably twice as far away! That's what happened when as disorganised as me!  G

Not sure I could find the A5 flyer either Happy but I’m sure the info to come and your emails wrt qually so far will suffice. No new news on accomm. We’ve (Mrs SS has) been looking to see if we could improve on what we’ve booked so far but nothing as yet. 60ish days to go! |

Not sure if it helps but last year we stayed in the Battery Wharf Hotel. It’s a short (boat!) transfer from the airport, there are dozens of good Italian restaurants nearby and it’s a short walk to public transport to get to Boston Common. There is also a cheap diner across the road that does a great breakfast (including porrige!) from 5AM. You’ll need to be at the pickup point for approx 6:30 so early breakfast is something to consider wherever you stay.

Over 500 quid a night Rossco (probably because I've left it so late.) Think we're going with an airport hotel at half the price. Thanks though. G

I've definitely lost that wee A5 flyer thing. What did it say?! Did it have our wave on it? I'm interested in that because the wave is what determines what bus time you are on to get out to start? I've emailed BAA anyway. G

I submitted an updated time since the flyer so I don’t think it’s critical. I do remember it said something about checking that your name is on the registration list on the website. I’m back home for a few days from Weds pm, so I’ll dig it out then and report back - unless someone else has already.

....in the mean time, in one of the recent BAA emails was this: “In late March you will receive an e-mail providing your bib number and your wave and start corral assignment. In early April number pick up instructions and important race information will be sent to you by mail.”

Thanks Steve. My entry is showing on BAA website registration.baa.org but Wave / Corral and Bib are blank. Is this the same for other people? Name, Age, Gender, City, Country are correct. G
