We have been notified by the London Marathon that as our three runners from the cancelled 2020 event have now deferred to the 2021 event we will not be getting any other places for 2021. Our next allocation is 3 places for the 2022 event. When we are able to apply for these places for 2022 we will announce the Club allocation process for these places. This will most likely be at the end of 2021 if the event returns to its April date in 2022.
