The Denbies Marathon & Half Marathon is back for 2026. Firstly, you get up to 30 hours to finish this event - yep you read that right - from 8.00am on Saturday 20th June right through to 2.00pm on Sunday 21st June, so if you fancy having a go at your very first Marathon or Half Marathon then you won't find a longer cut off time anywhere. But the fun doesn't stop there because we're offering completely flexible start times from 8.00am Saturday right up until late morning on Sunday 22nd, which means that if you start later, say at 11pm on Saturday, you could try your first evening or even night run. You can also run more than one half marathon or marathon if you like, by simply entering the event more than once and starting when you like within the start window. The route is a single 1 mile loop (with an extra bit for the 0.1 or 0.2 miles required to run a half marathon or marathon), which we've made as flat as we possibly can, and, depending on what time you choose to start you'll have up to 24 hours to run your marathon or half marathon. The medal for this event will be a 'pick n mix' meaning we'll have a selection of epic medals for you to choose from. The event is fully chip timed so you don't need to worry about keeping track of laps - we'll do all of that for you and can tell you exactly how far you've run each time you pass the aid station. Places will be strictly limited so don't leave it too late to enter. Off road trail, through the wine estate on a flat 1 mile route. Flat, with slight cambers
