Join us for the Milton Keynes Festival of Running on Easter Sunday, 28th March 2027!

Make your Easter weekend one to remember with a brilliant race day starting from the iconic Xscape venue in the heart of Milton Keynes. With a buzzing atmosphere, wide city roads, and scenic stretches along the route, this event is a great choice whether you’re chasing a new PB, building towards a marathon, or simply looking for a memorable spring running challenge.

All races start on Milton Keynes’ wide dual carriageways before heading into mostly flat and scenic routes designed to help you find your rhythm. With chip-timed results, clear course marking, and plenty of support along the way, you’ll have everything you need for a confident Easter Sunday race day.

Each kilometre is accurately marked with distance flags, and our friendly marshals will guide and cheer you all the way to the finish. We cannot wait to welcome you to the Milton Keynes Festival of Running.

With RunThrough, you can expect a friendly team of marshals to help guide you around the course and cheer you on to the finish, a lively and well-serviced event village with plenty of food and drink options, including free goodies from our partners at the finish line after your hard effort.

You can now grab your Milton Keynes Festival of Running event t-shirt for more than 30% off when you buy it as part of your entry on checkout! With the event logo printed on the chest, it’s the perfect keepsake to celebrate your race and wear your achievement with pride!

We can do this with our partner RT Kit as part of a strategic decision to raise awareness about the quality of the product, whilst reducing the overall cost of events for those who would prefer not to have a t-shirt included.

Come and enjoy the day with us. Once you enter, you will receive a confirmation email. More information will be sent closer to the event. We can’t wait to see you on the start line.
