How do I apply for a preferred start?

Once you have successfully registered for the event, you can apply for a Preferred Start, which is a starting position immediately behind the Elite field. To be granted a preferred start you must have achieved the following qualifying times for your event since 1st January 2022. Please note that if we have verified that you qualify for these times, then you will be accepted for a preferred start and will be notified in September 2023.

MARATHON:

  OPEN OVER 40 OVER 50
MALE Sub 2:45 Sub 2:55 Sub 3:05
FEMALE Sub 3:05 Sub 3:15 Sub 3:25

HALF MARATHON: 

  OPEN OVER 40 OVER 50
MALE Sub 1:15 Sub 1:20 Sub 1:25

Applications for Preferred Starts must be made via the website and should include details of the races (i.e. race name, date and distance) at which qualifying performances have been achieved.  Upon submission of your application an auto response will be generated – this is a receipt of your application only and not an approval.

Incomplete applications will not be considered.  All applications are checked to guarantee times submitted are valid.

To apply for a Preferred Start, please complete this form.
