Mark your calendars for the weekend of 1-2 May 2022, when the Milton Keynes Marathon Weekend will return to an amazing stadium finish at Stadium MK.
The multi-award-winning marathon event is consistently ranked in the top 10 UK marathons and this year, the race is set to return with its popular 2016-2019 race routes with a single-lap marathon course.
The race takes place on Bank Holiday Monday 2nd May 2022 at 10:00am starting at Saxon Street, outside Stadium MK. The course time limit is 7 hours with a spectacular stadium finish location.
Additionally, due to the popularity of its virtual race experiences over the pandemic, the Milton Keynes Marathon will provide a virtual option in 2022 for those who cannot travel or would prefer to do the race from home.
Registration for the event is open, you can find out about entry fees and see the map here.
“After a challenging couple of years, we can’t wait to get back to our normal event line-up,” Race Director Andy Hully said. “Providing our participants with the opportunity to run in the footsteps of legends is part of what makes the Milton Keynes Marathon so special and there’s no better way to do that than crossing the finish line inside StadiumMK.”
“The last few years have presented one big challenge after another and our team responded with flexibility and ingenuity,” Hully said. “Through it all, our main goal stayed the same: to motivate our community to get outside and run.
"We did that in 2020 with our ‘Reimagined’ event, where runners took on a fixed route anytime over a two-week period using way markers and voice navigation. We also had to do it a little differently in 2021, with one of the first big socially distanced events in late June, so even just the thought of getting everyone back together in 2022 is exciting. Returning to our awesome stadium finish is icing on the cake!”
