MK Marathon

The MK Marathon Weekend is a major UK running festival held in Milton Keynes, England, United Kingdom, best known for its fast, scenic courses and its memorable finish inside Stadium MK.

Organized by Runners Base Limited / Milton Keynes Marathon Weekend, the event has grown into one of Buckinghamshire’s most popular running weekends. The official site describes the race as a destination running experience, with routes through Milton Keynes’ parks, lakes, boulevards, and green spaces before a stadium finish that gives every runner a full lap of the pitch and a crowd-lined final moment.

The marathon itself is an AIMS-certified race, a Boston Marathon qualifier, a London Marathon qualifying event, an Abbott World Marathon Majors Wanda Age Group World Championships qualifier, and an EA Masters qualifier. Its course is positioned as flat, flowing, scenic, and suitable for both first-time marathoners and runners chasing personal bests.
