Two-day road racing weekend with the Rocket 5k on Sunday and the full marathon, half marathon, relay and Superhero Fun Run on Bank Holiday Monday.
MK Marathon Weekend returns to Stadium MK on Sunday 2 May and Bank Holiday Monday 3 May 2027, with the start and finish both at the stadium. It's a full weekend of road racing, and since its launch in 2012 it's grown into one of the top ten marathons in the UK. The course is AIMS and UK Athletics certified, which means your finishing time can count as an entry-standard performance for other major marathons like Boston and London. It's also held BARR Gold accreditation for race management for the last ten years.
The route takes you through the heart of Milton Keynes, following the traffic-free Redway network through tree-lined boulevards, linear parks, villages and lakes. There's a 6.5-hour time limit on the full marathon and 3.5 hours on the half. Brioche Pasquier is the headline sponsor. If you run on both days, you'll collect a third MK Challenge medal alongside the finish line at Stadium MK, home of the MK Dons, where thousands of spectators cheer you in.
It's spread over two days. The Rocket 5k starts at 09:00 on Sunday 2 May. The main events follow on Bank Holiday Monday 3 May, also starting at 09:00: the full marathon, the half marathon, the marathon relay and the superhero fun run. The relay is a team entry, so you'll need to get a group together for that one.
