The MK Marathon Weekend returns this May 3 & 4, bringing a celebration of running that offers a distance for everyone — from first-time participants to seasoned club athletes chasing personal bests.
The MK Marathon Weekend has built a reputation as one of the most inclusive running festivals in the region.
Whether participants are stepping up to a longer challenge, enjoying a social run with friends, or racing competitively for a club, the weekend’s varied programme ensures that every runner can find their perfect start line.
Event organisers are especially keen to welcome running clubs and charity runners, using the event as a powerful platform to fundraise and raise awareness for causes close to their hearts
All Monday events will culminate in a spectacular finish inside Stadium MK, delivering an unforgettable final stretch.
Runners will experience the thrill of entering the stadium to cheers from supporters, crossing the line in a venue normally reserved for elite sport and major events.
And, with the main event falling on May the 4th, this year’s finisher medals are inspired by a certain legendary space saga!
The themed design promises a fun, collectable twist that participants will be proud to wear — a perfect blend of achievement and pop-culture flair.
The combination of a festival atmosphere, a wide range of distances, a stadium finish, and a unique medal design is already driving unprecedented demand. With registrations up 78% compared to this point last year, runners are being encouraged to enter early to avoid disappointment.
