About the Event

Embrace the festive spirit at the Merry Mile Marathon, where runners and walkers unite under the theme "Ho Ho Half Hour: A Jolly Holiday Run!" This charming race invites participants to celebrate Christmas with every step, spreading joy and unity among families, friends, and even strangers. The event is designed for all paces and ages (under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian).
When you sign up, you'll receive personalized support from dedicated coordinators who ensure your experience is both enjoyable and stress-free. Join our local run clubs to continue your fitness journey beyond the race day.
The timing of this event is optional; participants can track their progress using apps like Strava or RunKeeper if they choose to do so. No timing chips are required, making it a relaxed environment focused on achieving personal goals.
What's included in your registration:
- A running T-shirt shipped directly to you (US addresses only)
- A finisher’s towel or exclusive giveaway
- A commemorative medal
- Access to a digital training pack and online results
For those keen on upgrading their experience, technical running shirts are available for an additional fee.
Race day is simple. Just arrive at the designated start time—waves begin at 7:30 AM, followed by 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM. Latecomers can still participate as coordinators stay until after the first wave has concluded.
To ensure a seamless experience:
- Your T-shirt will be mailed to your registered address one week before race day.
- Final details and course maps will be emailed on Wednesday prior to the event for your convenience.
Last-minute registrations are accepted, but please note that shirt delivery may take longer. Any suitable running attire is welcome!
Join us in creating a memorable holiday tradition. The Merry Mile Marathon promises an atmosphere of camaraderie, fun, and fitness amidst the festive season. Be part of our community and help make others' runs more joyful this Christmas!
