No, there is no priority entry. You must obtain an entry for each event through one of the official entry routes.
How will the organisers know when I am completing the London Classics and arrange for me to collect my medal?
We ask participants who have completed two of the three London Classics events and who have a confirmed entry for the third event to complete this form prior to the third event.
We then verify your results for the first two events and let you know what you need to do to collect your London Classics medal after the third event.
