LM Ballot
By Ann Ellmers on Dec 12, 2024
Riverside have not yet received any emails with ref to the LM 2025 placements, I have messaged both LM and EA so hopefully I should receive a response soon.
So, rather than continue waiting, anyone interested in being in the ballot to receive a LM entry for 2025 please see the below criteria and message or email me to be added to the list.
Sadly there is no additional charity place this year as our current charity does not have any entry allocations.
London Marathon Club Ballot
England Athletics (UKA) running clubs can apply for club entries into the TCS London Marathon. The number of entries allocated to each club, is based upon the number of “first” claim England Athletics (EA) affiliated members only that we have registered at a set date. It is likely (although not guaranteed) that we will get 2 places based upon our number of EA affiliated members.
The following criteria to participate in the ballot will apply:
To qualify for one of these places you must have met the following criteria at the time of the London Marathon 2024 public ballot.
Been a fully paid up EA member of the Riverside Runners for at least 1 full membership year (EA memberships run from April).
Be a fully renewed paid up member of both Riverside and England Athletics on race day.
Be an England Athletics 1st claim for Riverside (for those who run with more than one club)
Have already entered and been rejected from that years TCS LM public ballot, sending your rejection email for 2024
Are not eligible for a ‘Good For Age’ entry, which can be guaranteed directly with the TCS LM organisers
Participate in the marathon of that year the place is valid for (do not enter the ballot just to defer the place)
Have not won the ballot place in previous years
Be an active participant in the club and contribute in some way to improving the club (e.g. helping the committee, volunteering at our HM race, helping out with C25K sessions, new beginners, regularly attending races & sessions, supporting roles etc)
Members must also agree to the following in advance of winning a ballot place:
* Pay the TCS LM entry fee
* Continue to be an active participant in the club
* Wear a Riverside race top with pride on the London Marathon race day!!!
One placement will be awarded to members who have never ran the LM prior (please advise in your message) and the second for everyone else who meets the above criteria.
