Organiser's Description
The event starts at noon on Saturday and will continue for 24 hours until the last person returns to the race HQ on Sunday.
“OH MY GOODNESS I CAN’T RUN FOR 24 HOURS”
It’s not like that, run, walk or crawl. Our motto is “Run it Your Way” and that’s exactly what you can do. Take a break between laps to soak up the event village atmosphere or have a snooze. Its up to you.
Some I guess will want to run as much as possible, others in a team of 2-6, but the aim is to run as much or as little as you like.
For example, each lap consists of approximately 6.55 miles (1/4 Marathon) so if you ever wanted to run a half or full marathon, all you need to do is complete 2 or 4 laps over the 24-hour period. Or go further and complete 5 laps or more for an Ultra Marathon. Or why not try to beat the record of 16 laps or 105 miles !!!!!!
Please note that under UKA rules under 20’s are not permitted to run more than 4 CONSECUTIVE laps without rest in between.
If you only want to do just the one lap, no problem, we are all inclusive and everyone who enters receives
the 2026 MK24 bespoke medal,
the 2026 event T-shirt (unisex) or Vest (ladies will receive a women’s vest up to size 16 where possible) Also option to opt out
our iconic and much sought after embroidered hand Towel (new colour for 2026),
our now famous distance pin badges for completing 13.1 miles, 26.2 miles, Ultra & Double Marathon,
FREE snacks and drinks all weekend
Juniors between 12 and 18 years are welcome to join us at the MK24 ‘Midsummer RunFest’ in 2026. Juniors under 15 years will not be permitted to run the entire course but run half laps of approximately 5km. By completing two half laps over the 24 hours, they will be eligible for the fantastic MK24 medal plus the Iconic embroidered hand towel and race T-shirt/Vest. We insist that the young people are supervised whilst on site but not necessarily on the run as I guess most of them run faster than us adults. If you wish to join in the fun with your children, then why not enter them too.
Please note that under UKA rules those aged 12 to 15 are only permitted to run half a lap at a time, for 16 year-olds it is one lap at a time, for 17 year-olds two consecutive laps, and for 18-19 year-olds it is four consecutive laps. We suggest that young people should rest for a minimum of one hour between laps.
