One of the UK’s Most Unforgettable Marathon Experiences
Run a marathon that finishes inside a stadium.
The MK Marathon Weekend is more than a race — it’s a destination running experience. Each May, runners travel from across the UK and beyond to take on fast, scenic routes through Milton Keynes and earn an unforgettable finish inside StadiumMK, complete with a full lap of the pitch and the roar of the crowd.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best, stepping up to a new distance, or running your first-ever race, MK Marathon Weekend delivers everything your training deserves — without the chaos of a mega-race.

Why Run Milton Keynes?
We believe running is more than a race.
It’s a challenge, a commitment, and a celebration of what’s possible.
MK Marathon Weekend is where goals are set, and limits are tested — where first-time runners line up beside seasoned marathoners, clubs arrive in force, and families cheer from the sidelines. It’s a weekend that belongs to everyone.
We run through the heart of Milton Keynes — past lakes, parks, and boulevards — and we finish in a way few races can. Inside a stadium. To the roar of the crowd. Because every runner deserves a finish that feels unforgettable.
We celebrate effort over ego. Community over competition. Progress over perfection. Whether you’re chasing a personal best, stepping up to a new distance, or simply proving something to yourself, your journey matters here.
This is a weekend built on pride — pride in our city, pride in our runners, and pride in a legacy that spans over a decade. From the first finisher to the final one, from the Rocket 5K to the marathon, every mile tells a story.
MK Marathon Weekend isn’t just about crossing a finish line.
It’s about becoming part of something bigger.
Set the goal.
Commit to the challenge.
Earn the moment.
We’ll see you on the start line.
