Once again, I have not got into the London Marathon. My rejection jacket (as I call it) arrived today!

Anyone else?
 
A friend of mine (who is registered on here, but I don't think has visited for quite a while), got hers yesterday too. I didn't know they send jackets out to those who didn't get in.

Why don't they just donate the money to a charity instead? :shrug:
As much as I'd probably like a jacket myself (I love stuff like that lol), I think a homeless person would prefer the few quid it costs to make
 
It's all a ploy to get you to keep in training for next year ;) Keep trying!!
 
I got my rejection jacket as well yesterday.

It may seem silly to some but I was really fed up when I received it and have not opened it yet.

When registering you can pay up front and opt to give the race fee to charity if you do not get through the ballot as a thank you they send you the rejection jacket.
 
Glad its not only me!

Thats twice for me now, three more rejections and I get in on the 6th guaranteed!
 
Son and daughter both got theirs. She did the Marathon last year via a 'gold' place and managed to finish it (well proud). Son miffed and hasnt opened his yet, losers jacket as he calls it.
