Club Rules
BRJ Run and Tri is governed by a set of rules defined in its constitution that define the rights and responsibilities of members. Read the BRJ Run and Tri Constitution. Members are further governed by the regulations of England Athletics, as stated in item 4.1. View these regulations here. The Club defines a set of rules concerning entry into the Club London Marathon Ballot, the rules of which are below.

NEW: London Marathon Club Ballot (from 2025)

Mike Gullis proposed a clarification of the rules for the club ballot from the 2025 event, reflecting that ‘good for age’ applications  are no longer guaranteed a place. The committee endorsed this proposed change to take immediate effect. In addition the committee proposed a further clarification; that  members must be an active member for two full membership years to be eligible for the ballot.

The revised rules for the ballot are highlighted below;

BRJ London Marathon Club Ballot Rules
BRJ Run and Tri is awarded London Marathon places because of our affiliation to England Athletics. We typically offer these places to our members via a ballot. To enter the ballot you must comply with the following rules:

Eligibility to enter the ballot for the London Marathon 2025

  1. Members must be fully paid first-claim members – including membership of England Athletics, for the ballot year, for this draw that’s by the end of April 2024.
  2. Members must have been an active member in the previous two membership years, i.e. from April 2022
  3. Members must have applied for the 2025 marathon via either the Public or Good for Age Ballots or both and have a rejection email to prove they have been rejected from one or both Ballots
  4. Rejection emails should be sent to email hidden; JavaScript is required by 24th November 2024.

Ballot process

  1. The final list of members to enter the club ballot will be approved and circulated by the committee.
  2. Any member objecting to the committee’s decision, as to who to enter into the club ballot, should raise their concerns prior to the club ballot.
  3. Any member who receives a marathon entry through the club ballot, and later wishes to defer, MUST notify the Club Chair prior to deferral, in case there is an option to transfer the Club Place to the Reserve Member.
  4. Any member who receives a marathon entry through the club ballot can enter the ballot in the next year but will go to the bottom of the list – i.e. will be a last reserve.
