Hi, I have finally managed to get a place into the London Marathon, after many years of applying and wanted to know what registration details I would need to register for the event.
thanks Jo

Not sure what you mean - nearer the time you take a letter they send you to the Expo and sign for your number. I think they have all the info they want from what you filled in on the application form.
Defo don't need passport. But if you sent in your application with your old address, you will have to tell FLM about your new one or you won't get the letters nearer the time. Sorry if that's a bit obvious!
ps jo, hope i hav'nt hijacked your thread!!
You go to the Expo place in London during the week before the race,It's very easy to find, and they give you your bits and pieces there after you have signed for them in your own handwriting.
Don't worry. I don't think that Scotland counts as a foreign country, so I wouldn't expect you to be sent your details them, or have to provide passport details, although I forsee a time when we will have to provide more ID, thanks to our friend Mr. Blunkett!
I hope u booked that early flight ?
I think I've always used my credit cards as proof. Althouigh DB - you will need your passport to fly anyway.

It's open from Wednesday I think? Apparently it's very busy on Saturday so if you can attend earlier in the week you should.
I think if you get someone else to collect your number then the rules change.
It's all in the mag that you get round about March.
Avoid Saturday if at all possible - I went once to keep a friend company and wished I hadn't! It's so much more relaxed at other times
I've booked my train tickets already and was unaware of the need for personal registration.
So my train gets to Kings X at 14.45 Saturday, I then have to get to Excel (allow 1hr?)and the place will no doubt be heaving. I understand the centre shuts at 5 on Saturday (nice one!). Also i'll probably get lost and be a nervous wreck before I start.
I cant 'pop in' during the week as I am from 'up north'.
Will I get thrown out if I turn up late on Sat afternoon? What's the cut off time for delayed people/ latecomers? Help?!
once upon a time before I worked for RW, I registered for London on Saturday at about 3pm and it was fine. You can definitely get there from King's X within an hour (you won't get lost - Northern Line to Bank then DLR to Custom House for Excel. Loads of people will be heading the same way).
The Expo will be crowded but you register on the way in and it's usually a smooth process. If you're still worried you could call FLM, the number's on their website.
