Cleethorpes Maravan Half 2026 - Saturday

Nestled by the coast, where winter’s solitude often offers serene running paths, comes an invitation to experience the unique charm of the Maravan race series. This dual-day event invites runners to explore two distinct distances over consecutive days: a marathon and a half-marathon. Participants have the flexibility to tackle one or both events based on their preference.
On day one, runners can challenge themselves with a full 42-kilometer marathon through Thorpe Park Holiday Park, an expansive venue that offers scenic views of its surroundings. For those looking for a slightly shorter yet equally rewarding experience, the half-marathon awaits on day two. This race consists of four laps around Thorpe Park, creating a looped course with varied terrain and picturesque vistas.
Each participant will receive a bespoke medal at the finish line to commemorate their achievement, adding an extra layer of personal recognition to this exclusive event limited to just 40 runners per half-marathon distance. The atmosphere is designed to be relaxed yet engaging, fostering a sense of community among participants who share a love for running and appreciation for local scenery.
The Maravan adheres strictly to Association of Racing Clubs (ARC) rules, ensuring fairness and safety throughout the race days. Beyond the run itself, all finishers will take home not only their medals but also a quality goody bag filled with surprises that reflect the unique spirit of this coastal event. The day's festivities are rounded out by an inviting post-race environment where runners can connect and celebrate their accomplishments.
Whether you're looking to push your limits on one day or extend your endurance over two, the Maravan offers a distinctive blend of challenge and camaraderie in a setting that celebrates both the beauty of the coast and the spirit of running.
