MK Marathon Weekend

We’re blessed with a tremendous amount of natural beauty in Milton Keynes, and we’re also lucky to have a world-class system of cycle paths known as redways. We have taken advantage of those factors to show off our green city, giving our runners a course that is scenic, interesting, inspiring, fun to run, fast, and excitingly different from other marathons.

The multi-award-winning Milton Keynes Marathon Weekend takes place during the early May Bank Holiday weekend. Join thousands at Buckinghamshire’s MOST POPULAR weekend of running. Conquer the Rocket 5k on the Sunday, and either the Marathon Relay, Half Marathon or Marathon on the Bank Holiday Monday.

Run both days and earn a third MK Challenge medal!

We also have a colourful Superhero Fun Run on the Bank Holiday Monday morning.

All Monday events finish in the stunning StadiumMK cheered on by thousands of spectators!

We look forward to seeing you in May for an epic two days of running.
