Zig Zag Marathon and Half Marathon

Bury St Edmunds, United Kingdom • 10 May 2026

The Zig Zag Marathon and Half Marathon take place at the Suffolk Running Centre in Bury St Edmunds, UK. The marathon follows the officially measured, scenic Kirtling Route, which is fully on road and mildly undulating, while the half marathon uses the Windmill Route, both featuring quiet roads. The event offers a seven-hour cut-off and includes aid stations with drinks and snacks every 10 kilometers.

Parking is included with entry, and runners receive a bespoke finisher medal or can opt for a lucky dip medal. The race encourages safety with bright clothing and allows only bone conductor headphones. Participants must bring their own cups as the event is cupless.
