About the race
The LDWA Autumn Forest Marathon is a one-day walking and running event on 26 September 2026 organised by LDWA - Heart Of England. The event starts and finishes at the Memorial Hall on Station Road in Henley-in-Arden, Warwickshire, and explores the Heart of England Forest to show early autumn woodland. The route passes through a mix of newly planted, growing, established and mature forest.
Distances offered:
- Marathon: 27 miles
- Short course: 20 miles
Entries open on 4 April 2026 and close on 21 September 2026 at 23:00. Entry fees are £20 for LDWA members and £25 for non members. The entry list shows 120 participants so far.
There is no specific event parking at the HQ; multiple car parks are available within a ten minute walk and public transport options exist. The 27 mile route has three checkpoints and the 20 mile route has two checkpoints; these serve snacks and hot and cold drinks. A hot meal will be served at the finish.
