Aha - I have discovered why it was saying service unavailable. You have to go to the home page which is actually labelled 2012 rather than the one that says registration (which has 2011 on it) just registered myself will update the list...

A week? Blimey thats a bit close..
Jings, OO. You might have to take the juke-box apart to cobble together new legs.. Could you just dawdle round Paris and save yourself? Or run Paris and dawdle round London? Or just have a nice weekend in Paris with Mrs. OO and get behind the tressle-tables with the spongers?
The M de P jackets are really quite cool and you'd get a close-up look at the Elite.
Roof gimp, you'll probably only get biased advice, here. It's flat and the course is beautiful.It's also very crowded and the whole jaunt will probably cost you a fortune...What more could you want?
Thanks, Never Give Up Girl. I finally got shown a form once I went back to the home page and back in again, like you said, and now I'm all booked. Yay! Now to um.. do some running. Ahem..
I've no idea, Roof Gimp, but I've gone for it and I'm an utter Pink Bib! :- D
Oh yeah, should've said, I did do London first, a few years back. though I'm all unfit again now. But I reckon Paris should be a bit of an experience. I heard that they give out wine en route as well as water. Is that really true?
Oh and how good does your French have to be? 'Cos mine's kind of lousy.
It's a good first marathon Roof Gimp - flat, wide, scenic, well organised, great atmosphere, wonderful city. Did it as my first, now back for a third time!
*Message me , through the forum,for some Notes on the course etc , if you like.They're too long to post here. *
mmm Maybe this Route
Blimey this is a popular thread, I am just waiting for Mrs Roof Gimp to text me back, we are in New York in March for my 40th so what the hell Paris in the springtime and all that - also Mrs RG is fluent in French so she can sort out the accomodation etc.
212 days - enough time to train?
Okay, Never Give Up Girl.
Pink Bib number : 51018.
* Not offering odds on Mrs. RG texting ' No. 'Don't want to go to Paris in the spring...*
pixelwitch, you'll have Mrs. RG to translate
And, yes, they do offer wine..and beer/sausages etc etc...You may not actually feel much like having some cider at 35k....but who knows.
ATM - true, as long as I am insured she will come
Better try again with the online registration
ok done

Crikey better start training properly instead of winging it like usual
OO - I think I have experienced exactly the same pangs of jealousy at the prospect of not running in Paris due to VLM. I still ahven't confirmed my postponement of my GFA place in London....
Maybe we could do the Paris Marathon up to Bastille? Stop, cheer on all the following runners from this thread, have an expresso, mosey on over the road, and then wait an appropriate amounr of time before running to the finish. That would be &+21kms. Doable the week before going for a fast one in London I reckon.
The last time when we both ran Paris and London was two weeks apart, and it wasn't good for either of us....
Or there is the option of giving out wet sponges (although an expensive non-running trip for you I think)?
A tiddler of a run today, almost finishing my Berlin Un-Taper period.

212 days is time to train, lose all your fitness and train again! I'm starting in late December, personally (albeit from an OK level of base fitness)

You're in the Pretty-in-Pink pen, yer_maj! Rose
Glyn, if your training goes better, or worse, than expected you can change always ' Pen' at the Expo.
