Dublin Marathon organisers say anyone who competed in any of the last three races will be guaranteed a place in the 2020 edition.
They've come to the decision after concerns were raised about changing the registration process to a lottery system.
Here's what Organisers have said:
"The KBC Dublin Marathon Race organisers, aware of the concern caused by the changes to the entry process to regular participants in the KBC Dublin Marathon, have made the decision to guarantee a race entry for anyone who has participated in one of the last three editions of the KBC Dublin Marathon namely, the 2017, 2018 or 2019 event. Eligible participants will be able to guarantee their place in the 2020 KBC Dublin Marathon provided they enter within 72 hours of receiving a unique URL enabling them to do so. The URL will be issued at 12 noon on Friday 1st November."

Anyone who took part in one of the last three marathons will receive a special code tomorrow.
They will be guaranteed a place in the 2020 race provided they enter within 72 hours of receiving it.
People who haven't taken part in the race in recent years will still be able to gain entry through the lottery system.
It costs €15 euro to enter, but that fee will be refunded if the applicant is unsuccessful in the draw.
Entry to the 2020 KBC Dublin Marathon lottery will be open from the 1st November to 30th November 2019.
