ATW Milton Keynes Miles & Music

ATW Milton Keynes Miles & Music comes to Willen Lake on Sunday 10 October 2027, a new running festival that puts a Half Marathon, a 10k, a 5k and a Fun Run all into one day. The courses follow traffic-free paths around the lake and pass through the central event area, so you're not fighting cars. There's live music pumping from a main stage, with DJs and music stations lining the routes to keep you going while you run.

The Fun Run is aimed at families, and children under eight have to be accompanied by a paying adult. If you're looking for something more challenging, the day's biggest hook is the Milton Keynes Miles & Music Trifecta Challenge: runners who tackle the 5k, 10k and Half Marathon on the same day cover 36.1km in total. Complete all three and you get a special Trifecta Challenge medal, and you're invited onto the main stage to receive it in front of the crowd. There's plenty of food and drink on hand after the racing finishes, so you can refuel once you've crossed your final line.

It's a full day of running, music, food and entertainment at Willen Lake, with four different distances to choose from. Whether you're in it for the Half Marathon or just the Fun Run, you'll be running around the lake on traffic-free paths, with the main stage and music stations scattered along the way. The Trifecta Challenge is the one that really sets it apart, though — 36.1km across three races in a single day, a separate medal, and a spot on the main stage to collect it. All that, and plenty of food and drink waiting for you when the racing is done.
