Event summary
Get ready for an exhilarating day of running at the Zig Zag Marathon & Half Marathon, taking place on Sunday, May 14, 2023, in the picturesque Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. Organised by Zig Zag Running, this exciting event offers participants a chance to tackle a scenic, officially measured marathon route that is fully on road and mildly undulating. Runners can choose between a full marathon or a half marathon, both designed to showcase the beauty of the Kirtling Route.
With a generous seven-hour cut-off for the marathon (five hours for the half), this event caters to runners of all levels, making it perfect for those aiming for a Good For Age (GFA) place. Enjoy the convenience of an aid station stocked with drinks and snacks every 10k and take advantage of included parking for a hassle-free experience. All finishers will receive a bespoke medal, and for those feeling lucky, there’s also an opportunity to select from previous medals. Remember to bring your own cups or bottles as the event has gone cupless to promote sustainability. Join us for a fantastic day of running and camaraderie at the Zig Zag Marathon & Half Marathon!
