Join us on a fast rocket-fueled 5K with an “out of this world” bling. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the buzz of marathon weekend without the extra mileage! This event takes place on the day before the MK Marathon and welcomes all paces. from super-fast to those just starting out!
The race leaves the Campbell Park event plateau heading west on the tree-lined Avebury Boulevard and circling the impressive Xscape complex. We then head east on the wide, fast, and flat Childs Way giving runners the opportunity to get into their groove before skirting the top of historic Woolstone. We then head northwest past Gullivers Dinosaur & Farm Park and continuing around to Newlands we turn left crossing the Grand Union Canal and into Campbell Park. The race finishes down in the meadow below the light pyramid. Finishers will then pass into the amphitheatre for their medal and refreshments.
Join us on a fast rocket-fuelled 5K with an “out of this world” bling. Our new circular route includes fast flat stretches of closed roads and has PB potential with only 30m of gain overall.

RUNNER FEEDBACK
My first time running the MK Marathon and it was an absolutely fantastic event from start to finish from the organisation, ease of parking, accessibility, baggage, toilets, beautiful route, amazing stadium finish, fab medal, T-shirt, and countless help from volunteers. My favourite marathon by far. I will definitely be back, cannot fault this race, perfect in so many ways. Thank you MK Marathon Weekend!

An excellent event that was brilliantly organised.
The family had plenty to do while they waited for me to plod over the finish line.
Cant wait to book next year.

This is one of my favourite marathons out there, it offers a unique course compared to your standard road marathon and seems to get better, year on year. It’s a lot of fun, and if you haven’t done it yet, you really should!

Doing a marathon is quite stressful in itself, but Milton Keynes was a great event – the fantastic organisation, ease of getting there, and quick, simple registration process on arrival took the stress out of this element so that I could focus my energies on running! I had a fantastic day – thank you.

The Rightmove Milton Keynes marathon is a lovely course through country parks, around lakes, through woodlands, and more. The main thing to mention though is the support, which is absolutely tremendous around the whole course. Milton Keynes supporters are terrific and cover almost the whole course. It really does provide such a boost – and the bonus finish in the football stadium is terrific too. Highly recommend
