This is not an exhaustive list but simply ways you may help.

4) Must not be eligible for a Good for Age place, and must have entered the standard London Marathon ballot and be in receipt of a rejection from them. (or screenshot of rejection )

The London Marathon is an iconic race and places are increasingly hard to attain (with GFA times becoming more competitive and charities requiring upwards of £1,500 in sponsorship). These criteria have been selected therefore to maximise the opportunity for as many of our members as possible to make the race start line.
