Sorry if this is a stupid question but are the colours based on your predicted finish time? I’m in blue start but lots of faster people than me so wondering if that’s wrong for me.

The colours are based mostly on how you got your place - blue is club and ballot plus ladies championship, red is charity and fast good for age, green is celebrities and ordinary good for age.

Where predicted finish comes into it is in the seeding wave you will be in on the blue start and this will be printed on your number.

I don't think so Zee - there will be fast, slow and everything in between in all three starts. I think the different colours are just because they need room to put everyone.

But yes, fast, slow and everything in between on each start. The slow ones on green tend to be some of the celebs but they get to start at the front.

I'm on Green Start - 9th VLM & 48th marathon in total. It will also be 10 years almost to the day since no.1 which was London 2008!

No doubt many of you'll have seen this before, but here's the whole course (recorded from the lead car in 2013) squished into 5 minutes.

According to the Race portfolio there are 205 registered Fetchies running VLM this year

From this group there are 45 Marathon first timers, meaning 160 have run at least 1 marathon and 6 (according to their club affiliation) have run more than 100 marathons

So plenty of experience for those newbie marathon runners to tap into.
