hello again, i have exchanged emails with alessio a representer for the marathon. i was told that my details and payment have been registered for 2 entries and i will be refounden soon for 1 payment, so i am pleased about that.
do any of you know how we can get to see the entry list for the race, i would like to check i am on the list.
i also asked about the health form, and as i am a member of a athletic running club and completed in 2 marathons in the last 6 six months. i wont need to send the medical health form over.
hi tom, a irish man if i am mistaking, with a name like monaghan. i am also flying from the uk, standsted airport. hoping to land on friday before race and staying in a hotel not to far from the start.
Glad to hear things getting sorted out Mr Guinness. When you sign in under the "individual athletes area", you can check your registration status + print off your bib sheet you'll need to take to expo. It could possibily take a few days.
Tom, your staying mighty far outside the city!
Hi All. Just decided to enter this one - good thing I read the above threads so that I'm prepared for all the problems with registering! Any tips on how best to do it?
Already looking forward to it. I needed a race to focus on. I've done London twice and so this will be my first marathon outside the UK. Been to Rome for sight-seeing (and was born there) and so I'm expecting it'll be a majestic course to run around.
Just need to start on the training ... will be ratcheting it up from December (which gives me some time to get the registration sorted out ...!)
Can anyone recommend any decent hotels? I'll have the OH and baby by way of support team.
Hope everyone's training is going well and continues that way.
I did my first run on Sunday for months, so this is going to be a bit of a stretch for me.
welcome courtney and sphinks.
hi sphinks i had the same problem as you. after i entered my card details it also come back as a card error. then i entered another card that i have and again it come as a card errow.
so i thought i will try to enter another way and lift it for afew days, then i check my bank details. and Lo and behold, 2 payments have been taking out of my bank. i have sent 2 emails to the payment department, looking too get 1 of my payments back.
so my advise is, leave it for afew days if you can and see will they take the payment out of your bank.

it seems i do alot of things 2 times
. the first massage was all over the place.
hope you get the payment sorted out.
Also had a failed payment notice on the website. Just been on the phone to them and they advised trying again. However, I'll take Mr G's advice and give it a couple of days! They said the health form can be emailed to info@maratonadiroma.it in case that's easier than faxing.
nick i have received the same massage as you about registration. maybe we will get to see our bib numbers closer to the race day. still waiting to receive my payment that they took out of my card. i dont want to pay twice for the same race .
ya 17 weeks gives us plenty time to prepair for the rome marathon, as long as we do it right. build your milage up slowly and be careful training plus watch out for injuries.
i will be stepping up my marathon training next week. have been taking it easy since the dublin marathon. all in all it should be good, fun and tough until race day.
keep fit everyone
Entry fee goes up after tomorrow if anyone's still on the fence.
Got my email saying registration is complete! Just waiting on my confirmation etc to appear on the website.
On the downside, I've not been able to run the last couple of days after hitting my knee against a desk (what a tw*t).
Nevertheless, looking forward to it but 20km of cobblestones doesn't sound like much fun at all. On the plus side, carbo-loading in Italy shouldn't pose much of a problem!
hi all, now i new there was some cobble stones but i not think there will be almost 12 miles of them.
i am sure taking in the lovely sights around the route of rome will make up for the cobbles.
Im sure you are right, I was lucky both times in Rome but then I just don't think its possible to have a bad race there.... its Rome
