In December I looked at the possibility of running in the Stockholm Marathon. Thankfully Unfortunately, the event was fully booked, but I put myself on the waiting list incase anyone dropped out. Today I received this email…
“Dear runner,
363 out of the more than 2.000 runners on the waiting list for the 2008 Stockholm Marathon have been accepted for the race.
This means that no more runners from the waiting list will be accepted fot the 2008 Stockholm Marathon. We’re sorry, but you will not be offered a place in this years race.
The 2009 Stockholm Mararthon will be staged on Saturday, May 30. Entry för the race will open on May 31 this year on www.stockholmmarathon.se.
This automn we will organise the Stockholm Half Marathon on September 6. We expect about 9.000 entries. You will find all information on www.stockholmhalfmarathon.se
With kind regards
Stockholm Marathon”
Of course, I’m very sad about not being a part of the race, but I wish the lucky 363 all the best.
Shame that; I had been looking forward to the “before and after” photos appearing on your blog!
