jennyh Jan 2021 3:07pm, 21 Jan 2021 5,438 posts	0 jennyh [Sorry, that was in response to V’rap’s post about the virtual - in terms of numbers, think it was about 40,000 when I last did it in 2018, between that and the weather it was not a fun experience. Loved the previous two times I’d done London, in spite of the crowds]
EvilPixie Jan 2021 3:10pm, 21 Jan 2021 22,506 posts	0 EvilPixie think it was about 35K when I last ran in 2010 I think they accept 50K expecting 35-37K If I get in I will try for a PB If I don't get in I will do the virtual over the same course as I did in 2020 and aim to improve significantly
