Zigzag - the 'other' Run

Bury St Edmunds, United Kingdom • 27 Apr 2025

The Other Run is a unique running event taking place on the same day as the London Marathon, offering participants a choice of distances: 5k, 10k, half marathon, or full marathon. Set at the Suffolk Running Centre in Bury St Edmunds, this event caters to those who may have missed out on the London Marathon ballot, allowing them to earn a virtual London medal alongside a bespoke Zig Zag medal. The marathon route is officially measured, scenic, and primarily on quiet roads. Participants are encouraged to bring their own cups or bottles, as the event has gone cupless.
