Green Mile (Evening Halloween Edition)

Dorchester, United Kingdom • 2 Nov 2024

The Green Mile (Evening Halloween Edition) is a unique marathon event taking place at the historic Dorchester Prison in Dorset. After a two-year hiatus, this spooky edition invites participants to choose between a daytime or nighttime marathon, both featuring challenging stair climbs. The event promises an atmospheric experience with altered lighting to enhance the eerie setting of the Victorian prison. This marathon is notable for being the only one held entirely within a prison. Runners can opt for either the day or night marathon, or tackle both for an extended challenge. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
