... that would have been my bib number on the Vienna Marathon tomorrow if Miss Iceland had stopped coughing. We told you smoking and running don't go along very well!

Not sure what is going to be reimbursed out of all that. Given that the organisers at Vienna are greedy enough to charge an extra 25 euros on top of the 54 euros registration fee to get a T-shirt (maybe the only big marathon in the world to do that), I guess the marathon entry fee won't be one of them!

Sorry to hear that, Julien, it must be quite a disappointment... As some guy on TV was saying, it's hard to be mad at a volcano, but it's bloody annoying nevertheless!

An e-mail sent to registered runners who weren't on the marathon starting line reads: "We will do our best to minimize your disappointment and find a solution that is satisfactory for you soon. [...] We hope to inform you about a concrete and friendly offer in this week."
My current guess is that we'll get free entry next year. Who knows?
