PACT’s popular event returns bigger and better than ever this year, with four challenges to take part in over the 31 days of May:
- 26.2 miles for adults
- Ultra for the super keen wishing to do multiple marathons 🏃
- Mini Marathon of 10 miles for children under 16
- Walkiethon for pets 🐕
Participants can run, walk, hike, cycle or wheel the miles, and can cover the distance either individually or together as a family or group of colleagues or friends.
With so much flexibility, Marathon in May is a challenge anyone can do. Keen walkers, runners or cyclists can attempt multiple marathons and compete to reach the top of the leaderboard, while those who want to use the challenge to get more active can break down the distance into daily or weekly amounts. Many people take part as a family and find the challenge a great way to be more active with their children and canine friends.
PACT trustee Chris Foote who took part in 2024 said: “Taking part in the Marathon in May challenge was great fun and it encouraged me to improve my fitness. I surprised myself by completing almost twice the distance in the month and having a great time doing it – not least climbing the Malvern Hills.
“I would encourage anyone to take part – you can do as much or as little as you like each day and it’s surprising how quickly the miles mount up. My friends and family were very supportive and it was great to be able to support the valuable work of PACT whilst having fun.”
Early bird tickets are available until the end of March. Find out more and sign up here.
