TCS London Marathon 2025

… Have to be super organised and not forget anything on the morning - already giving me anxiety :confounded:

Might just trot round with the ultra shoulder holster thing then can relax - take a phone/ extra gels etc

Green start posse!!!
Wave 3 massive!!!

Not sure where people are looking for weather, but MetCheck has it at 9-10 degrees (perfect for Ninjas) but 35% chance of rain (not perfect for Ninjas)

Ha ha! Are we all lumped in the same wave! :raised_hands:

BBC weather - 13 < 16 :partly_sunny:

No way I’m looking at weather this far out.

I’m no too fussed on temp just not wet please

Stiff headwind forecast along the Embankment… :open_mouth:

Is everyone else’s suggested arrival time 90mins before the start? I’m on blue champ start and suggested arrival time is 8 for 9:30 start.

I normally try and get someone else (non runner) to collect my number from the expo so I avoid the pain on Saturday. The extra faff of COVID tests for both parties before hand might make that a bit more tricky :thinking:.

I’m guessing it’s to show your test result?

Yes, looks like an hour or so before

Possibly, but is does say “random spot checks” on event day, so I was thinking they would do a few when it was quiet (maybe I’m too cynical :grin:).

Ah, well as long as it isn’t raining it shouldn’t cause any problems :crossed_fingers:

I’m hoping my hotel will happily print out my Covid result if necessary otherwise I’ll be spending wasteful energy walking about looking for a fucking print shop. I really don’t want to have to run with my phone

I would say I’d print to for you if you sent it, but I’ve got to be in the start bit before 8:30

Anyone got their kit bag yet?

Yeah, mine came on Saturday.

Seems they will stick a medal, t-shirt, water and a lucozade sport in there for post race.

There will be plenty of spares at the expo apparently if it doesn’t turn up/forget it.

Nope

Email said Friday by the latest. I’m trying to get to the Excel on Wednesday to get sorted

Nope. Not worried about that. As long as I have a print out of my LFT for race morning I’m chilled

… got my bib no for Manchester the following weekend :thinking:
