postieboy Apr 2015 9:58pm, 27 Apr 2015 2,427 posts	0 postieboy Some interesting stats there. How do they come up with the total applicants? Do the charities give the number of applications for golden bond places, successful or otherwise as well? They'll also have to manufacture a shed more fleeces for those who bequeath as well Rosehip!

Arjin Apr 2015 8:26am, 28 Apr 2015 141 posts	0 Arjin Interesting numbers... So many not turning up on the start line. I wonder what the split between deferals/injuries and just applying because you're #inspired and totally unprepared is.

dafinchi Apr 2015 3:07pm, 28 Apr 2015 2 posts	0 dafinchi If you don't get in London the other Euro marathons are worth a shot. Rome has been mentioned, but I've also used VLM rejection to visit Paris, Prague, Barcelona and (a couple of months later in the racing calender) Stockholm - all excellent 'big city' races, without the need for a ballot.
