In the absence of an existing VLM forum
Where is everyone starting from, target time and what's your race number?
Blackheath 3:45 20328
It's my first VLM and its probably mad at the start, would it be possible for a Fetch meet up for a pre-race photo?

Hey Zehnderboy! First London for me too.
I'm in 3:15ish shape but like you, I'm expecting a busy start, so I'm not stressing about time on this one.
I'm in the Green start (Maze Hill tube apparently)
27667
I'll be wearing 'Gosport Road Runners' kit but I'd love to get in a Fetchie photo.

Hey SS, 3:15 shape is great going, hopefully one of the more experienced VLM participants will come along and let us know where we can meet for a group Fetchie photo

7840 starting at the Blue/Blackheath start, was targeting 4:10 but recent training has not gone to plan so probably a bit slower.
I'm also a first timer so can't offer any advice lol

My 6th London Marathon and going off the Green Start so might see you Sailor Steve, green is fairly small, but I'm also probably going to be wearing my club vest, Wigston Phoenix.
There's normally a plan for each start for a photo - the reds meet by the band stand I think (?), there will be a tea tent on each of the starts and that tends to be a good meeting point. We don't tend to have huge numbers on green though so often it's only a couple of us.
