Milton Keynes Festival of Running

Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire

Xscape, Marlborough Gate, Milton Keynes, UK

Sun 5th September 2021

Organiser's Description

One of the biggest running festivals in the UK, come and run from our city centre location over 5k, 10k, half marathon or 20miles.

If you’re running the re-scheduled London Marathon, Brighton Marathon or one of the other big autumn marathon races, the longer races are ideal races for you to add to your preparation programme. The courses are mainly flat, fast and well marshaled to ensure you get any assistance you need.

We also have some wonderful experienced pacers running in the half marathon and the 20 mile event to help you achieve your goals. All you’ve got to do is hang on!
