It’s that time of year again. A couple of hundred thousand of us anxiously await the outcomes of the London Marathon Ballot.
I’m assuming it’s a ‘SORRY’. I think this might be my 6th year of applying through the ballot. I’ve been fortunate though. I’ve run London twice, getting places via my running club.
What happens, happens. And the cool thing is, whether it’s a yes or a no, I still get to be part of it. My club always marshals on the day, so if I can’t run it, then I marshal.
Wishing everyone the best of luck!!!
On how I might respond to the London Marathon Ballot Results
You’re in…
Sorry….
On a more serious note, for those that get in, a huge congratulations. It is such an amazing day – I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
And if you don’t, there are plenty of other marathons you could do. You can find a good listing of UK and international marathons here and at Racecheck with reviews here.
And if I don’t get a place, I’ll still be there, marshaling and cheering you all on.
Happy running all!
Honestly, the one and only time I applied I was so relieved when I found out I hadn’t gotten in! I’ve got my fingers crossed for you though 🙂
Thanks Eloise, and I get that! And cheers, here’s hoping!
Yes, its agony for me too this time of the year.
I wonder how many burst into song.
Please Mister Postman, look and see.
Is there a letter in your bag for me.
So many years you passed me by.
Please check and see just one more time.
Will it have to be another charity application?
Yep. And if it’s a ‘sorry’, i then have the fun of waiting for my running club’s ballot…the torment continues! And loving the song! Let me know how you get on with the ballot.
Love this. Made me laugh. I too are waiting for the Ballot.
This made me smile. I’m hoping to get in VLM by Ballot.
Fingers and toes crossed for all of us. If it’s a sorry for me, then I do have a chance of a place with my running club’s ballot, though that’s another many weeks of waiting to find out!!! Good luck!
