But they didn’t have to say that this year’s non existent race was the 40th and I ’m not sure the year is on each of my t-shirts?

LMH it is the 40th - Maybe not as you would like it but the London Marathon has had many changes in its time and has to adapt to present circumstances. 41st next year hopefully

I don’t think there has ever not been a mass participation event in London though Kev. I know I can’t change it and I know why it’s been done but that doesn’t mean I have to like it does it? I feel as though I’m being criticised (not just by you) for expressing how I feel.

i wasn't meaning to criticise you, sorry if that's how it came across. I too was just putting across a point of view.

agree with you LMH, would have been nice for them to just carry the t-shirts and medals over to next year. Even if they had the year on them, it’d make them special.

I can't see how a virtual race can be the 40th although there's obviously an elite race that has to be counted somehow.

I'm sure they could have just rebranded the elite race SPR.

LMH - Maybe, but I'm sure they want elite races of that quality to be part of the history of the London Marathon.
