I'm also waiting on an email.
If you applied for the virtual in August, your registration number is the last 7 digits of the reg ID in the entry confirmation email.

There was this message on Facebook for those who already had a place in the April marathon...

"For those who never received your app email with your login details try this. Firstly download the app from the Apple or Play store.

Luckily I have a background in IT and I’ve managed to locate my registration by looking at the numbers embedded in emails I have received.

If you had a place in the April marathon and were sent the virtual email to make a choice to take part or not.
Titled Take part in the virtual 2020 Virgin Money London Marathon – Your Way! Mine was sent on 12th August.

Scroll down to the personalised link and hold your finger down on it until you get the link up but don’t open it in the web browser.

Your Registration ID is is the number that’s in this part of the link (it’s 7 digits long)!"

Ah, just a thought. Lots of talk about numbers. Mine hasn't arrived and I was going to print it off. Were numbers only going out to the original runners, I only signed up for virtual couple of months back

Thanks ATC, that works, great stuff.

FM - the website says there should be an email enabling numbers to be downloaded, anyone’s guess when it will be sent. There is a template on the website for printing blanks.

I had no entry confirmation email either. Also had to chase up the deferral email

Filled in the contact us form last night and woke up to the email.

About 5 mins after the above workaround I got an email telling me they hadn’t emailed me and to delete the app and start again. Ever get that feeling you are being watched?

I’m not sure I can do it now. Yesterday lunchtime I suddenly started feeling nauseous and was sick. I’m still not feeling right. Hopefully it will pass as a 24 hour thing as there’s no obvious cause, but I’ll not be doing it on Sunday if I can’t move without vomiting 🙄
