The half marathon (13.0 miles) race is still the only single lap event of its type on Cannock Chase. 100% fully off road, along single track trails, fire roads many of which are off the normal beaten track. A true adventure. For the full marathon you will complete two laps of the course making it one of the hardest marathons events in the UK.
Also the chance to compete with a teammate in the Marathon Relay option. As a team two (any gender) one runner will complete the first half marathon lap and then hand over to their teammate to complete the second lap.
