Monument Marathon Bury

Bury, United Kingdom • 30 Aug 2025

Monument Marathon is a 26-mile loop in and around Bury, starting and finishing at Burrs Country Park (Woodhill Road, BL8 1DA).

Participants can run or walk; guided support is available, but self-sufficiency is encouraged.

The event emphasizes exploration and wellbeing over fast times. Perks include a finisher neck gaiter, a unique memento, regular aid checkpoints, and secure parking. Proceeds support The Sunnywood Project’s youth and outdoor programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
