November Nightmare 8 Marathons In 8 Days

View all races for Nov 2026

The November Nightmare is an eight day running challenge held around Telford, giving participants the freedom to choose how far and how often they want to run. Each day is treated as a separate race, with 8 mile, 16 mile and full marathon options available throughout the challenge.

Runners can enter a single day, select several days or take on the complete eight day event, with the option to choose a different distance each time. Routes explore the Telford and Ironbridge area, taking runners through varied Shropshire surroundings and close to the historic Ironbridge World Heritage Site.

The flexible format creates a substantial endurance challenge for runners looking to build consecutive days of racing or target a single distance. Those completing multiple days can accumulate an impressive mileage across the week, while every completed race earns its own medal to mark each individual achievement.
