Does anybody have any insider info as to when the VLM acceptance/rejection magazines are out this year. I know they're supposed to be early Oct but I'd heard later this week.

They are out! Had mine today - I'm in!! First time I've applied too so feel very priviledged! Lots of others have had theirs too so generally they do seem to have been posted out.

Loads of people on VLM facebook seem to know as well - I haven't received anything but is that because I live in Jersey? Can I find out any other way???

Well done T runner - envious!!

Jelleybaby, if you can find the payment link on the Virgin site. If you enter your details and can pay then you are in, if it doesn't recognise the details then sadly you are not.

Got my rejection mag this morning.

I really really hope I get in. The charity/hospital I want to run for don't buy places so the only way I can raise money for them is through the ballot. I've applied every year since the cause became important to me (4 years ago) and haven't had any luck. It's so frustrating!

You could have run any number of marathons and the charity would have had the benefit of the money you raised 4 years ago...

There's a personal reason the London Marathon is extra special to me and the family member I'd be running for.

You could always do another marathon for your charity. There are plenty to choose from.

Depressed. Sorry you have been unsuccessful.....yet again. So now I have to trawl around looking for a fav charity... But for some reason I feel a bit of a fraud... I want to run to raise money for you I do.I do I do.. But only if you give me a VLM place, ...Maybe I should become a celebrity... I've never hear of a celebrity waiting years for a place...
