I liked last year’s medal. It was a good size, a lovely design, and had a couple of clever features. I’m not a fan of change for change’s sake, so I’m using the same basic design this year as well.

So as to mix things up a bit, though, I’m changing colours around a bit. Runners on Saturday, and Sunday’s Marathon will receive antique gold coloured medals this year, and the ribbons are all individually printed with the event and year, so if you collect two medals over the weekend, they’ll both be different.

Half Marathon runners will have shiny silver medals this year.

We have received confirmation from the park that we are welcome back to use their site for Maravan 2019!

Although I was hoping to move forward another day, there was always going to be a day when I had to move the event back, and that time has come, as the caravan owners’ end of season party is a few days later next year. Hopefully we’ll still be OK for weather, but we’ve had everything that the North Sea can throw us over the years.

Maravan 2019 will be on the 23 and 24 November, 2019.

I’ll open up entries some time between now and Christmas, and let you know via the website and Social Media.

Full results for all four events at the 2018 Maravan Festival of running are available here, or by following the “Results” link above.

Thanks everyone who took part, I’ve had a lovely time and I hope we can be back, same time, same place next year.

Full instructions can be found here. I will send everyone an email this weekend as well…

My eyes!

I spend a week in the Netherlands with my family, and I come back to all the news!

Apparently, my man at Event Entry tells me that I have only three team places remaining for the Maravan Relay on Saturday 17th November.

It’s payday this weekend, and some of you are still inspired from this spring’s marathons.

If you want some great fun marathon action, fancy a half in less toasty weather than last weekend, or just a fun social day out in a group of four friends, then there’s an event for you in November:

The deign for the marathon medal is now confirmed.

Permit number 18/264

This means that the marathon events on Saturday and Sunday meet the criteria laid down by the UK 100 Marathon Club to count towards a member’s totals.

Several runners have now used Maravan events towards their 100 club membership, including Rebecca Parry, who last year became the first athlete to celebrate her 100th at the Maravan.

Will anyone be joining her this year?
