TCS London Marathon 2025

Is that not the case with all IM events. It’s very hard to resist the lure of merch until the novelty wears off. As a rule if I do buy something I don’t wear it until I’ve completed the event. Such presumptuousness to wear before!

Sorry, but this is bollocks justification, there’s no reason to “keep the entry fee down” by justifying doubling the number of journeys, it externalises the cost of all the unecessary journeys on the whole of society, people who aren’t running should not be subsidising the runners.

Just as an aside, you have to go all the way through the Expo to get out.

“exit through the gift shop”

Could be. Wales is the only IM branded full I’ve done.

I agree I would prefer an option to pay more and have my number sent to me, the less time I have to spend travelling across London the better.

We’ll be ok. They’re focused firmly on Matt Hancock - even though now he’s not the health secretary :man_facepalming:

For some reason i’ve bought a visor from each of the IM events I’ve done so far. Always wear it on the run.

They’re probably the only piece of Mdot merch that i wear

The qr code just says 13465

I kind of thought there might be some hidden stuff, exciting extra content, I dunno. This is VLM after all

But no, it’s just your race number which I guess is fair enough

No - I don’t think so… :thinking:

To add some context, I think the original “denim” shorts were recovered from a skip.

I don’t know whether he’s still using those original shorts, but denim shorts have been TC’s uniform for races since.
