The Milky Way Marathon is quite gentle, in terms of elevation gain, in comparison with other trail running events.
The 42km has 1100m elevation gain.
Expect to climb just under 600m on the 21km distance.

It's more than a race. It's an experience.

Climb into a fiery sunset…
Then settle into the rhythm of night running beneath the Milky Way ✨
