GFA will happen. But maybe the cutoff of 3000 (X2) entrants will not be reached and all applicants will be accepted.

The only opportunity to run a GFA time for 2022 is in London 2021, although I hope they extend the time period until the end of the autumn marathon season which would give me a second chance for a time.

You mean, the only opportunity in London?

Well yes, but we don't know when their cut off date is yet for the entries for GFA times. There is going to be one chance to run a time for 2022, unless you are odd and happy to run two in quick succession. For a normal GFA qualifying period there would have been three chances assuming a spring and autumn marathons and 6 months between attempts. If they set the dates to exclude whenever Boston/ New York/ Manchester/ etc happen and make it the run has to have happened by October 5th there won't be very many people with times at all. |

Seems unlikely they wouldn't include Mancs next spring - assuming it takes place as planned. There may be other quick marathons, I haven't really looked elsewhere. Brighton?

Was assuming Manchester would be in October as well.

Well, it's a long way off and a lot may happen between now and then. I just checked and Brighton is slated for April 2021 too. There's a fair chance we will be through the virus by then one way or another.

The GFA dates were published earlier. For 2022 the qualifying period is 5 Oct 2020 - 3 Oct 2021 so only includes London 2021. For 2023 the qualifying period is 4 Oct 2021 - 30 Sep 2022 so only includes London 2022. |

The 2022 GFA window is the year to 3rd October 2021, (bottom of the below virginmoneylondonmarathon.com ) so hopefully there will be be opportunities than London 2021 to achieve it in.
