Commiserations, your application to run in the 2020 Virgin Money London Marathon has been unsuccessful. A record number of 457,861 hopefuls applied to take part in next year’s event and unfortunately you were unsuccessful in the general ballot, which was drawn at random.

Close to half a million applications for ~20,000 ballot places. Oof.
(Happy I didn't get it as I won't be able to start running until November at the earliest, will aim for getting in decent shape to give it a proper go in 2021.)
