Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Bazoaxe, I didn't get an email either yesterday and have just got off the phone with them. Good news though I'm in!!! It's my birthday today too so a good present :-)

I'm FV45 - GFA time 3:45:55, needed under 3:53.

Having checked on numerous discussion forums I haven't found ANY GFA applicants who failed to get a place. I can only assume that VLM didn't receive the full 3000 applications for both sexes.

Maybe those who didn't get in have kept quiet. I though they got waaay more GFA entries than 3000?

Some of those 3000 places will also have gone to runners like myself, who deferred 2018 for a guaranteed 2019 place, although that can't be many.

I have no email - 3:02:05 for M45, is the consensus that it is necessary to phone or is there a known issue with emails?

I saw a post from a M18-39 who had got in with 2:59:55. I would have thought that means pretty much every one who entered got in. See you all there!

Thanks for the link Becca - very interesting.
I have no mail yet. The message on the telephone line now says that they are aware of people not getting mails and will have the problem rectified by the end of today. It also says they will not help over the telephone any more today.
I have followed the link and it lets me register. In two minds whether to complete the registration or not......

Oh - by the way I am 45-49 and have a 3:08:50 from 2017 VLM, so fairly hopeful that I would get in still (3:10:00 is the standard required).
