Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Congrats Andy! Hope you get a blue start number!

I think there are a few others they invite too. The female attendance record holder isn’t an everpresent but she gets invited to the VIP stuff every year too. She’s a regular at our parkrun and has run well over 600 marathons!

I love the way LM change the goal posts the whole time.

As fetch said is was “end of November” now …
“Clubs will be emailed when registrations open with either their allocation of places, or for clubs with 10-39 affiliated members, their ballot result. ”

It’s never simple with them is it?

Thanks for the info re London Marathon @fetcheveryone It’s an amazing experience but not one I’m interested in repeating this (next) year. Hope someone who really wants it gets the chance and has a great run.

@fetcheveryone and all FERCERs
Would it be OK to throw name in hat and if it comes out gift the win to someone else?
It wouldn't have much impact on anyone else's chances but would boost those of the giftee (is that a word?)

As someone who's never run London and would like the chance to do it one day, I can't say I'm 100% on board with that. If it's for a non-FERCER, then it takes the place outside the club; while if it's for another FERC member, it skews their chances vs anyone else who's thrown their name in.

I've thrown my name in the hat as I'm always trying to disprove to people that I need to quit. I'm up to 7-8 miles, so an April marathon is still practical - hopefully in the capital.

Wishing whoever gets it a wonderful experience.

I think it’s a kind thought, Rosehip, but I’m guessing everyone in the ballot really really wants it. I know I do!

You can leave me out of the hat...I'm in no condition to do marathons for a while.
