Northbrook AC
London Marathon Club Draw

About the Club Draw

Conditional on the Club receiving an allocation of "Guaranteed Entry" places, a draw is held to distribute these entries to Club members who meet the qualification criteria.

A draw will be made for the number of Guaranteed Entry places allocated to the Club, plus one reserve. Entries will be allocated in the order drawn. The number of Guaranteed Entry places given to the Club is determined each year by the London Marathon organisers.

If the number of entries satisfying the requirement of Rule 5 below is fewer than the number of places available, Rule 5 will be relaxed by reducing the number of races to permit entries from runners with results from fewer than six qualifying races. Entries that satisfy fully the requirement of Rule 5 will be given preference in the draw.
