Event overview
To be held on the same day as the famous marathon in London!
This event gives you the choice of 5K, 10K, half or full marathon distance.
Perhaps you missed out on the ballot but still want to run. If you've entered the Virtual London Marathon you could complete it on this route with other people! Plus you'll get a unique Zig Zag running medal too.
There's a 7-hour cut off to complete your distance.
The marathon will follow the Kirtling Route, which is an officially measured route, on road, mildly undulating and very scenic.
The half marathon will follow the Windmill Route and there'll be a turnaround point for those wanting to do a shorter distance.
There will be an aid station of drinks and nibbles every 10K.
This event is part of The Other Run.
