Malvern Midsummer Marathon : event summary
Malvern Midsummer Marathon takes place on 20 June 2026 with HQ at Colwall Village Hall, Mill Ln, Malvern WR13 6EQ. The event offers two marked routes across the Malvern Hills on tracks and paths. The routes are the same as the 2025 edition and are run clockwise around the route with a common first half.
Distances:
- 27 miles with approximately 5000ft of ascent, four checkpoints.
- 15 miles with two checkpoints and significant climb.
Both routes pass through Cradley, Mathon, Colwall and Evendine. The longer route also visits Oyster Hill, Ledbury and Bromsberrow and follows the main ridge from British Camp after the northern Malverns; that ridge section is shared with the short route.
Checkpoints provide a variety of snacks and drinks. A hot meal and pudding are offered at the finish; entrants should bring a mug as none will be provided at checkpoints or the finish. Certificates and badges are presented to all who return to HQ. Dogs are not permitted.
Entries open 31 October 2025 and close 12 June 2026. Entry fees listed are £18.00 for LDWA members and £26.00 for non members. The event is organised by LDWA - Heart Of England. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
