East Hanningfield Trail Marathon

East Hanningfield, United Kingdom • 4 Jan 2026

The East Hanningfield Trail Marathon is a unique narrative trail race set in the picturesque village of Danbury. Participants navigate a circular route that is predominantly off-road, covering diverse terrains without marshals or arrows, relying instead on written instructions. The event features three well-stocked checkpoints approximately every 6.5 miles, and runners are rewarded with a medal and hot food upon completion. Safety is emphasized, with requirements for mobile phones and clear visibility of race numbers. The marathon is organized under the Trail Running Association's permit and welcomes volunteers to assist on race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
