Magna Carta Summer

The Magna Carta Summer race, organized by Hermes Running, takes place in scenic Runnymede, Surrey, near the historic site where the Magna Carta was signed in 1215. The event starts at the Wraysbury Skiff & Punting Club by the River Thames, featuring flat, fast, and picturesque out-and-back loop courses along the Thames. Distances include a 10K (approximately 10.09 km), a half marathon (13.14 miles), and a marathon (26.35 miles), with well-marked turnaround points and marshalled routes.

Aid stations at key checkpoints provide energy drinks and food. The course is highly regarded, having been named one of the UK's top 10 marathons by Runners World. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
