6 Hours. One Course. As Many Laps As You Can.
Marston Madness is back!
Following an amazing inaugural event in 2026, we’re returning to Marston Lodge, Marston Trussell for another six-hour endurance challenge with a big community heart and just the right amount of competitive edge.
Set on a beautiful 5k looped course, Marston Madness gives you six hours to see how far you can go. There’s no pressure to run a certain distance and no complicated rules — just you, the course, the clock and the challenge you choose to set yourself.
Run one lap.
Run ten.
Run until you surprise yourself.
⏱ Fully chip timed, so every lap counts.
Enter solo, as a pair, or as a team, whether you want to test your own limits, share the miles with friends or simply enjoy a brilliant day outdoors together.
There’s no “right” way to take on Marston Madness. There’s just your way. 💛
Whether you’re an experienced endurance runner, taking on your first challenge, or simply want to spend a fantastic day outdoors with friends, there’s a way to make Marston Madness work for you. Team of four entries are perfect for those who want to share the challenge, with one team member on the course at a time.
A challenge your way
Marston Madness is designed to be inclusive, welcoming and supportive, whether you’re an experienced endurance runner or simply looking for a new challenge.
Chase a distance PB.
Build your endurance.
See how many laps you can complete.
Or just enjoy the atmosphere and see where the day takes you.
There’s encouragement in bucket loads, plenty of happy faces and a fantastic event village atmosphere — because we believe endurance events should be about more than just the clock.
