London Marathon 2024 Ballot Results

141 replies

Entered the ballot for the 9th year in a row and fully expecting to be unsuccessful, but still excited to hopefully find out the results in the next week or so! It seems to be dragging, although I remember when you had to wait for the result by post in October! Anybody else excitedly/anxiously awaiting an email?

Snap, letsdothis showing as unsuccessful. Never mind, maybe next time. Congrats to all who got in

I’ve just checked on the let’s do it and it says unsuccessful 😔 I think that’s around the 8th time.

Just received my email, didn’t get a place ☹️

When you enter the ballot it's done through them. The email confirming your entry into the ballot will have a reference number on it. If you try to manage your ballot entry it shows if you have been successful or not.

Congratulations to everyone who was successful in the ballot.

I haven't had my email yet, but I can see on my let's do this account that I haven't got a place. You'll need your reference number to check.

What's the let's do this account?

I'm still waiting!

Parky04 · 06/07/2023 11:20

It's a no. 9 rejections in a row. Still can't complain as I was accepted in my very first application!

Exactly - but what is that filter? Is there an order to it?

I'm (impatiently) trying to work out that if they've started to send the "no" emails, then that's it, all the "yes" would have already been sent

No, I think it’s completely random.

AuntieStella · 06/07/2023 11:07

Lastqueenofscotland2 · 06/07/2023 10:58

It’s not done manually. It’s half a million emails, I’m sure they are just plugged into a system and filter through as and when

DCINightingale · 06/07/2023 10:59

still waiting here too! Sorry to all the people who have had a no already, it still feels disappointing despite the awful odds of getting a yes to start with

Lastqueenofscotland2 · 06/07/2023 10:58

AuntieStella · 06/07/2023 10:27

I'm still waiting

Anyone know if the send off all the "yes" emails first?

Or if they go by some other sorting system - alphabet, order application received, whether bequeathed to second ballot?

Or if they just make it as random as possible just to frustrate people?
