Permit for 2023
Maravan 2023 will be run under an Association of Running Clubs permit, which gives £10,000,000 of liability insurance and guarantees you certain standards in the organisation of the event.
Basically, it’s an official event!

And now it starts
Vigilantes Maravan holds associate membership of the Association of Running Clubs. This allows us to hold officially recognised events, and gives us a nice big wodge of insurance which protects us all.
It’s an annual membership, and it needs to be renewed every year in April, so it’s up for renewal right now.
Thanks to our ARC permits, all our marathon-distance events are recognised by the various clubs and groups that like to count these sorts of things, the 100 Marathon Club and the Marathon Globetrotters just happen to be two that Darren is a member of.
I’ll get the money sent off for the ARC membership and the permit this week, and then from that point on, it’s all systems go, as the council and both landowners need to see evidence of this insurance policy.
So, as the first cost now hits the ledger, and conscious that we’re just into a new month, it would be really handy, if you’re thinking about entering, if you could get in now.

2022 Results for the marathon double.
Anthony “TC” Gerundini ran both days in 2022, and has kindly taken the time this week to collate the single-day results from 2021 and 2022 into combined two-day results for both years.
Those now appear under the “Double Results” link on the results archive.
Kudos to TC for taking the time to do this. It’s most appreciated.
2022 Results
Have been online at Timing Monkey since during the race – we get live updates. It’s amazing.

I’ve updated the results archive accordingly
Thanks to everyone involved last weekend, runners, supporters, specialists and parks staff alike. We had a great, if tiring time and we’ll be back next year.
Entries will be open once I’ve got the relevant permissions confirmed.
See you next year…

Into the final week!
Race Day Instructions for 19th/20th November 2022
We’re keeping entries open for a while longer!
Just to let you know that, because Darren’s doing some running himself this coming weekend, and therefore won’t have finished with the necessary catering and goody-bag purchasing, we’re going to keep entries open for another little while.
Entries are well above 30 in both marathons, so they’re definitely going to count for the 100 club (which needs 15 finishers).
Half marathon is above 20, which is more than we’ve had many times since we started in 2014, and we’ve still got a few spaces left for teams if you want to enter.
Trophies
As usual, as well as the medals, there will be trophies for male and female winners of each race, along with the best male, female and mixed teams.
For this year, we’ve had a look at Zerowaste medals for the trophies, who will make us some bespoke wooden coasters.
We’ve put the order in, and once we have a proof, we’ll share it with you…
