How do I know if I got into the London Marathon?<\/h2>\n

Ah, the eternal question: \u201cDid I win the lottery (the sweaty, blistery kind)?\u201d<\/i> The London Marathon ballot results are more elusive than a text back from your crush, but fear not! If you\u2019ve been obsessively refreshing your inbox since October like a caffeinated squirrel, here\u2019s how to decode your fate. Spoiler: If your email subject line says \u201cCongratulations!\u201d<\/b> and not \u201cWe Regret to Inform You That\u2026\u201d<\/b>, start buying blister plasters in bulk.<\/p>\n

The Ballot: A Love Story of Hope and Spam Folders<\/h3>\n

First, check your email. Yes, that<\/i> email. The one you signed up with back when you were naively optimistic. If it\u2019s not there, check your spam folder\u2014where dreams go to nestle between \u201cEnlarge Your Bank Account!\u201d<\/b> and \u201cYou\u2019ve Won a Fake Cruise!\u201d<\/b>. Still nothing? Log into your London Marathon portal account. If you see a cheerful \u201cYou\u2019re In!\u201d<\/b> message, congrats! If it says \u201cBetter Luck Next Year\u201d<\/b>, well, at least your couch misses you.<\/p>\n
