I didnt book until September last yr and I got the Fri, Sat, Sun night for about ??30 more than what the same place is charging for just the Saturday for next yr.
I entered last tuesday and have heard nothing yet. I am slightly concerned that there was no way of checking what you had loaded before you hit submit? I know I have qualified and have entered via GFA before (when I knew exactly what was going in the post!!!) but a bit worried that if didn't load properly then I won't be accepted. Anyone else still waiting for the email 7 days later???
Me too Laudy! I entered last Tuesday and not yet heard so called Virgin yesterday. They explained that they are short staffed at the moment and have over 3k applications to go through. She said they would contact people if there was a problem with the application. It worried me as there were lots of people on twitter saying they had now paid for their places! But I suppose we just have to be patient. I wish they used social media more to give updates though. It takes less than a minute to send a tweet - must be more efficient than having to answer the phone all day to impatient runners!
Applied last Wednesday and still waiting to hear from them. To be fair, it does say you'll hear from them within 7 working days. doesn't seem to be too well organised. At first it said check the website at the end of May, then they added in June that you had to go back for the link on 24th. wasn't until after 24th that they added the link and even then it wasn't very clear(to me anyway).
Waited long enough already so a few more days won't hurt. Would be nice to put minds at rest though.
I applied last Tuesday and hadn't heard, so I called this morning, they found my details and said that I needed to supply a proof of address, so I have now emailed that to them.
I called this morning and they said they haven't got as many people as they need to go through all the applications... They confirmed they've received mine so just need to wait for the email now.
I applied laser Tuesday too and still nothing. Guess i'll give them a couple more days but getting twitchy too! Closing 8th July is a fairly short window.
You would think/hope that if they needed further info like for you madmillie they would email/ call. That would be far too sensible though....
Nothing yet. Applied last Tuesday. I do not recall entering birth date in American format - surely I can't be the only one who missed that. I meet the age requirement regardless. Used a drivers' licence for proof of address because that is the only official proof I have. e-bills make these things such a pain in the neck!
I applied last Weds soon after they opened and have just received the emailed confirmation. I'm now in.
I'm pretty sure the date is the 13th.
At £32, has it gone up? I thought it was £28 last year. Nonetheless a long way to go to reach Brighton's cost and a long long long way to go to regulate the demand...

Me too.
Yay got my email so I'm now entered. It is on 13th April isn't it?
I think so, though it did say 20th on the registration site!

I also have not heard anything...no need to overly worry though. I will call at end of week if haven't heard.

Mine also says "Championship Entry" on my comfirmation email, everything prior to that says "Good for age entry".
Got the email now to apply, mine also said championship entry.

Last Tuesday even........
I got the email to apply within a couple of hours so it may be worth giving them a call.

Does anyone have the no. to call handy?
0207 902 0200
Let us know how you get on please.
I just got my confirmation through (applied last Friday).
The good news is it now says "Good for Age" application, not Championship.
The bad news is the date of the event is stated as 21st April 2014. Which is a Monday
Who exactly do they employ to do this stuff??!!
Maybe that's your estimated finish?
In which case "Good For Age" might be stretching it a bit
That's why I questioned the race date, it looks like they've just copied and pasted the email text without changing the date or something.
Applied last Thursday, not heard yet

I paid £35. ...because I'm not in a club?
My acceptance email says championship entry. Does everyone's say that?
Still waiting
