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!

Who's waiting for the London Marathon ballot ?

I didn't donate because last year (the only one I donated) the top was useless - black and way too small.

Last year's Tops of Rejection were a bit snug but I actually enjoyed running in it given how cold the weather was.

And now I have a lovely jacket to go with it.

Mrs Star still wearing my rejection fleece from 2009 :-)

At least it has had good use.

Apparently there are two disappointing mags waiting for me when I get home (me + son). Hey ho, they nicked my GFA, nicked our club's spot and now don't want to be generous with ballots either. Quelle surprise!!

So what are the odds of getting in via the ballot and how does it improve if you donate your fee in advance?

If everyone votes here, we might get an indication:

Rejection mag just gone from doormat to recycling box in the time it took to remove it from its plastic wrapper - what a complete waste of resources.

I don’t donate either because the first top I got (two years ago) was way too small and it was the largest ladies one they did. I’m size 16 so a long way from being the largest person I’ve seen running the London marathon.

When I complained, they sent me a man’s top in exchange but the sleeves were way too long so it’s never been worn.

Think I’ll take the plunge and run for charity again, it’s bloody hard work though raising the money.
