The IKEA Marathon
The IKEA Marathon is a marathon held entirely inside the Croydon IKEA store. The route is run over multiple laps to total 26.2 miles, using the store interior including travelators, aisles and tills as part of the course.
The event is limited to 100 places, of which 80 were offered on general sale. The event is currently full. Entrants must be 18 or older. There is a strict six hour cut off because the race takes place in a working retail environment, and no spectators are allowed for the same reason. An Arc Permit is pending.
On-course support includes a Swedish themed aid station with themed food possibilities noted by the organiser. Finishers receive a bespoke self assembly marathon medal and a unique finishers t shirt. Sixteen percent of all proceeds will be donated to Shelter charity. The organiser has stated there are no refunds or transfers for this race.
