Hi there,

I was lucky enough to get a place for September 25 this year.

Anyone else going?

AngelaRI · 14-03-2022 2:55pm

Lucky duck! Rejected again, I will be going back into the lotto this October again..

Enjoy!

repub · 12-04-2022 1:51pm

I am going. I am looking to find a group who are going as I'm solo at the moment. I have no accommodation booked.

deconduo · 13-04-2022 3:27pm

I'm heading over with a few from my local running group.

Last year I stayed in the Adina hotel in Hackesher Mkt, 1 stop from the start line and loads of restaurants around the corner and kitchette in the room so I had control over my breakfast- would recommend. Best of luck

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything from the organisers yet?

I deferred my entry from 21 to 22 and have emails confirming everything, but when I log into my account it shows nothing under “Registrations”. What are others seeing or have they heard anything?

fennor72 · 05-09-2022 2:21pm

Hi getting close now, anyone got any email from the organisers about race details.

Also I seen on the website that Adidas were looking for runners to run Berlin in the adizero adiós pro 3 and take part in a survey. I put my name forward and got an email last week saying I had been successful and the runners were being sent out. I'll believe it when they arrive because it sounds too good to be true

That sounds class, keep us updated if they come through. Best of luck with the race either way!

echancrure · 21-09-2022 5:59pm

Is this on TV or streaming anywhere?

Arsenium · 17-11-2022 3:20pm

Just got a PFO for the 2022 race in the email? I think today is the day the lottery for 2023 closes. Anyone else get something similar? Or am I getting my 23 PFO early :-)

6run28 · 17-11-2022 5:02pm

Got the same. Thought it was a pre-emptive PFO for 2023 too, I hadnt even entered it!

py · 18-11-2022 10:33am

You had my hopes up when I didn't receive a PFO email :) Checking the official website, it says this:

Unfortunately, the 2022 draw results were mistakenly resent on 17th of November of 2022. These notifications about the raffle luck do not apply to the current lottery period.

Lottery results for 2023 will be out in December.

18-11-2022 4:41pm

€170+! I hope I don't get in but entered last night. Surprised they charge you for your tracking chip.

Did the runners ever arrive?

Murph_D · 30-11-2022 2:10pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119890830#Comment_119890830

The tracking chip is a rental fee - you return at the end of the race for a refund. I forgot to do so in 2014 and still have the chip, which I assume I can use again!

py · 30-11-2022 4:04pm

Lottery results start being issued tomorrow...

Please reject me

Didnt realise it clashes with Ireland vs South Africa in the world cup when I applied.

Will be deferring if I get in

fennor72 · 30-11-2022 11:23pm

Nope, waited a week before the race and gave up, went out and bought some endorphin pros.

I did get an email a couple of weeks ago asking to complete the attached survey about my experience with the Adidas runners in the race. So I told them what happened, what I ran in, and gave the pros a great review.

01-12-2022 4:50pm

Just received my PFO email.

Despite not been available to do it next year, I'm still a little disappointed :D

I dont take rejection well.

Will need to figure out a plan for racing these big races. I have it in my head, that I would like to run all 6 big ones

Unknownability · 01-12-2022 4:51pm

PFO!

Arsenium · 01-12-2022 5:13pm

Why do I get my hopes up? Seriously I woke up this morning like a kid at Christmas. Refreshing my inbox all day. Only to be told to PFO..... Grrrr!!

niallo32 · 01-12-2022 5:36pm

PFO using a German address

py · 01-12-2022 5:39pm

Also a PFO.

ISOP · 01-12-2022 7:06pm

PFO

Sandwell · 01-12-2022 7:26pm

I'm in, but based on a qualifying time rather than good fortune. Have had a number of the PFOs down the years so delighted to finally have the opportunity to enter.

scotindublin · 01-12-2022 7:47pm

Got in with the Q time aswell.....hearing of plenty of PFOs though

Unknownability · 01-12-2022 8:15pm

Anyone have any recommendations for another marathon around then? Half debating paying €467 for entry still!

skyblue46 · 01-12-2022 8:58pm

PFO 🤣

Amsterdam, Lisbon, Bruge, Venice, Warsaw...i'm going to stick a pin in a map

Well it's great to get what you wanted. Happy days, and someone else got the place. The rugby lads will appreciate your support. 😉

Murph_D · 01-12-2022 10:19pm

That wouldn't have made the slightest difference.

PFO using a German address

Anecdotally, some German colleagues all told me when they used their German address they were successful and when they used a non-German address they weren't - I'll cede to your insight though!

Murph_D · 01-12-2022 10:22pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119946011#Comment_119946011

Yep, me too with the Q time. Definitely the way to get in. Everyone I know in the lottery got rejected. Obviously a lot of interest for the 2023 race, maybe they have post-lockdown deferrals still in the system, although I haven't been tracking their policy.

See you there, hopefully.

16% chance of lottery last year - about 4 times the chances of getting into London, but still stacked against you. There's no separate application process for 'locals' so unless you're a conspiracy theorist, the address is irrelevant. Condolences on not getting in all the same, it's not easy but there's always the tourist route.

Sandwell · 01-12-2022 10:37pm

Amsterdam is two weeks later. Highly recommend it based on my experience this year.

Frankfurt would be my choice. 29 Oct. Takes the "Dublin Double" out of the equation but that's definitely a good thing.

Unknownability · 02-12-2022 7:32am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119947144#Comment_119947144

That was the initial plan but two of the group have entries to Dublin that they would like to use, so ideally the mahjong would be 4-6 weeks before Dublin.

The Davestator · 02-12-2022 9:53am

I got in on the lottery after years of trying! Flights booked. The date doesn't really suit for work but I'll make it work.

02-12-2022 10:05am

Pfo

Dats_rite · 02-12-2022 11:42am

PFO

Unknownability · 02-12-2022 1:55pm

Anyone done wolfsburg previously?

Looking like a good alternative option so far.
