TCS London Marathon 2023 Club Place(s) Draw

If you entered the TCS London Marathon 2023 and were unsuccessful here’s how to enter the Club Places Draw.

The eligibility criteria for the TCS London Marathon 2023 Club Place(s) Draw are as follows:

1. You must have entered the TCS London Marathon as a first claim Harrier and have a rejection email. The rejection email must be provided as evidence of entry.

2. You must run the TCS London Marathon as a first claim Harrier and pay next year’s subs up front (applies to reserves too) and have been a Harrier for the past 12 months.

3. You must NOT have run the London marathon within the last five years.

4. You must be able to run the TCS London Marathon on Sunday 23rd April 2023 so check that you do not have any other commitments, and that you are injury free to be able to train for the race. Any deferrals reduce the number of places that the club is issued for the 2024 London marathon.

If you successfully obtain a place through the club draw, you must complete and pay your entry fee by 16:00 on Tuesday 20th December (there are no extensions to this deadline under any circumstances).

The deadline for submitting your entry to the Club draw is 16:00 on Tuesday 15th November.

The Club Secretary will co-ordinate the Club draw and the Chair will make the draw. The draw will be made on Saturday 3rd December at the Club’s 10th anniversary celebrations, as part of the AGM.

If you are successful in the draw, you will be representing the Danum Harriers Running Club at one of the World’s Major Marathons, which is both a privilege and an honour.

Note: We are hoping to be allocated two club places and will receive confirmation by the end of November.

If you are eligible to enter the Club draw, then private message Amanda Lane or email secretary@danumharriers.co.uk along with your name and a copy of your rejection email as evidence.
