Morning all

I'm excited about next Sunday now we can talk in those terms about it.  We are down to single digits.  It is just around the corner. 

I've got a GFA place from my 3hr8min in Copenhagen last year so have been allocated a place in the Fast Good For Age.   The map has this annex outside Greenwich Park, in front of the rest of the red section.  However, the guide also instructs me to go to Blackheath with those heading to the blue section on the heath.

The map in the guide shows a tiny baggage area but no tea/coffee place (which I'll not miss) or toilets (which I very much will).   It'll be my third LM as I've done a charity place (red section) and a 6th-time-applying place (blue?), but I'd like to know a bit more about where I will be able to pee if anyone has experience of the FGFA section.  Will they let me into the red section or could I use those in the blue?  Like some illegitimate Victorian offspring, it seems that the Fast Good for Age are unloved by both....

Hi, There is toilet facilities in the FGFA, I think there is Teas etc also, If I remember correctly from 2 years ago.

This is a very relaxed place to be compared to the other starts -enjoy it!

You are certainly lucky to get to that start.  I seem to remember lots of facilities for not very many people, although that was from a marshal perspective rather than the runners.

Thanks guys

As long as there is a portaloo, I'm a happy man.

There are lots of loos although the queues still get long just before the start. The nice thing is that when we are called forward we go right to the start. If you still need to go then....well its all blokes in the pen (ladies with that time are on the champs start) and suffice to say the road/wall gets a little wet before the off...
