Good start this month. We’ve got 14 people joining us for the Maravan, and currently 4 relay teams.
I’m keen to get relay numbers up again this year, it was super when we had teams from across the North joining us for an end of season social, and if we get enough entries I can afford chip timing and relax all weekend.
There are still plenty of spaces available in all the events, and although I’ll keep entries open as late as possible, it helps me get medals if I know roughly how many I need, as I have to pay in advance.
The event has a licence for 250 people in total for the whole weekend, so come one, come all and see why people come back to this wonderful little event.

2025 Events
We’re proud to announce the return of the Cleethorpes Maravan for its 11th running, joined by it’s baby sister, the Lincoln Marabank.
Conscious that times are tight, and in the full knowledge that we don’t have to make a profit, we’ve kept the entry fees at the same level as 2024, so you’re only paying to cover our costs.
LINCOLN MARABANK:
7 hour challenge on the Fosse Dyke canal in Burton Waters.
8th AND 9th MARCH 2025
CLEETHORPES MARAVAN:
An official but social marathon with half marathon and relay options.
22nd AND 23rd NOVEMBER 2025
Entries for all events are open via our friends at EventEntry
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.
Rejected again!
It hasn’t been a great month for us with marathon ballots. This is our second in a month.
To be fair, there are going to be far fewer places available in the big city events over the next couple of years as people take up deferrals and such like. That’s how come we’re running in Chicago in October, deferred a succesful ballot place from 2020!
Of course, there are plenty of other marathons available in November, including a lovely little event in Cleethorpes on the 19th and 20th. We’d definitely be running that one if we weren’t busy that weekend.
If you’d like to run a marathon or a half, or to take part in one of the best relay races around, then get entries in now. There’s no ballot, it’s first come-first served; but even though we’ve increased available entries, once it’s full, it’s full.
