Berlin Marathon

I have a ballot place entry for the Berlin Marathon in September. Unfortunately the cost of flights, accommodation & travelling in Germany is more than I was anticipating it would be when I entered the ballot. Unlike the London Marathon I cannot defer my place to the following year. This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity for me because it’s unlikely I would get another ballot place & I have already paid £130 entry fee & i really wouldn’t like to lose that money.

I don’t really feel comfortable asking people to help pay for my trip but I have been reminded that if you don’t ask you don’t get .
