    Mascott they were saying that the thought it would be around 3 days before the ballot was full, best bet will be late at night or early early morning. You still only have a small chance of getting in.

    Rich what are the other ways of getting in, club (what does that involve) and Good for age?

    Also in answer to your question im not sure Im up for another marathon for a while, would really like to get a bit fast first. Def thinking about the Bristol half to see my improvement on last year

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    If you run a marathon on 2:45 (men) or 3:15 (women) you qualify. There is also good for age, which I'm not sure about and of course the places through the charities' stranglehold on the event.

    Clubs get allocated places according to their membership numbers, but typically 2 entries for an average club. It is up to the club who gets the places but it is highly unlikely that you would be able to join a club and get one of the places until you've been with them a few years.

    Beer Tins is right about Championship entries, being sub 2:45 for men and sub 3:15 for women. Also you can qualify by running a half marathon in 1:15 (men) or 1:30 (women).

    Good For Age times:

    Men 18-40 2:45-3:00
    Men 41-59 Sub 3:15
    Men 60-64 Sub 3:30
    Men 65-69 Sub 4:00
    Men 70+ Sub 5:00

    Women 18-49 3:15-3:45
    Women 50-54 Sub 4:00
    Women 55-59 Sub 4:15
    Women 60-64 Sub 4:30
    Women 65-69 Sub 5:30
    Women 70+ Sub 6:30
