Nelly Apr 2018 10:36am, 10 Apr 2018 3,823 posts	0 Nelly Entries are open for 2019. This mornings email about entries opening included the following line "NB - Those who qualify for the 'Marathon Legends' scheme will be contacted separately." How many of us have done at least four "full" GM marathons?
Rrunner Apr 2018 11:06am, 10 Apr 2018 156 posts	0 Rrunner My 2019 entry is in. It will be my second, well first, if you discount the 2014 "Mini" run....
RunHappy Apr 2018 1:15pm, 10 Apr 2018 1,788 posts	0 RunHappy A not unsurprising very bad run (training issues) from me. But enjoyed the day - ate loads of sweets/chocolate, hi-fived a lot of kiddies, and did my best to smile (will have t wait til the race photos to see if I actually managed the smiling bit). Massive gripe about t-shirts - you'd think they'd have something smaller than a large or extra large left with still about 1/5th of the runners out there on the course still. And pot-holes! But still, a good weekend away all in all
Nelly Apr 2018 12:44pm, 11 Apr 2018 3,830 posts	0 Nelly For anybody interested, I've just received a (private) email from Xtra Mile about the "Legends Club"... "This will be a set price (ed. £40 according to the website) for you regardless of time period. I would wait until you get this code. We should be in a position to send out information in a few weeks time".

Vixx Apr 2018 8:48pm, 14 Apr 2018 653 posts	0 Vixx I've done 4, but didn't know about the Legends club until seeing it just this minute. I've not had an e-mail either, but I might have to contact them as sometimes I enter under Vic and sometimes under Vixx :O
Nelly Apr 2018 10:07am, 15 Apr 2018 3,831 posts	0 Nelly Vixx - as far as I know, the legends club was only setup in the last week or so (although I was told at the end of last year they were planning something). As I said above nobody has heard directly from the organisers yet, so hopefully you’ll be on their list when they do email us.
