I sent my completed forms for GFA to the London marathon in July and they said i'd get a confirmation magazine in September. Just wondering if anyone's got one yet?
Not heard anything yet . My cheque was cashed a while ago according to my bank. I suppose we get those magazines like the balloters. Got last years on the 1st October so any day now hopefully.
Is the good for age entry a guaranteed place? Just curious, as I'd be pretty gutted if I got a qualifying time for a GFA entry, and was still rejected. Do they set the GFA threshold such that they can accomodate all GFA entrants?

LCC,
In the past we have had them the last week of September first week of October.
Excellent, cheers!
Heard nothing yet, maybe we get the magazine when all the balloters get theirs in early Oct.
Haven`t heard anything yet though
I know a few friends got their ballot magazines this morning so hopefully we'll get ours soon too

My G.F.A acceptance letter arrived this morning - so they are on their way.
Yes GFA is a guaranteed place but you have to apply for it seperately to the ballot. The qualifying times and application details are on this link.

I'd need to knock nearly 2 hours off my previous marathon time to qualify as GFA, so for now I'm condemned to ballot hell :-
Nice one Charlotte, fingers crossed it'll be waiting when i get home then.
Good stuff -hope mine is in the post at home
Got mine, magazine and letter...
yay, got it!
