Anyone know how long you get to post a GFA entry? I've just eneterd the ballot but as this is my first ballot entry, I guess my chances are small. Ran 110 seconds slower than last years GFA yesterday in my first marathon so i'm pretty certain I have the potential to post the right sort of time with more training, in an autumn marathon. Will that be too late?
criteria for good for age has been changed to sub 3:05. I ran 2:58 this year, so am in anyway, but there will be a lot of disappointed punters out there this year .....
Dann. Knew there was something I was meant to do this morning! Forgot til now and now the ballot has closed. Oh well, probably wouldn't have got through the ballot anyway.....

Doh! Thought it wasn't being released until May. Cheers.
Seems a fair bit easier for the ladies than the gents there.
Strangely Brown,
Autumn is too late for the VLM the following year.
All ballot places gone in under 12 hours. That's some demand for places.
I am in !!! got up at 3 am to register. at 12.15 am ballot was not open yet
Entered the ballot and got my confirmation email at 00:21
If I don't get in I may look down the charity route. I'm well aware the minimum to raise is usually near £2000!
Entered just after 8am, but still don't have a confirmation email?
No as per other post, by the time I got on line last year the ballot had closed. Missed out.
There r plenty of other marathons so don't despair!!!!
But there is only one real marathon !
