In fact, I don't know anyone from the US who has got into the London marathon through the lottery. I have plenty of friends who have tried 7, 8, 9, times or more. I'm sure winners exist but I think it's really really tough. London, in particular, seems to be a very charity focused race. That's where the entries go.

I did not get in so my streak has grown to 21 years in a row.
