CLEETHORPES: The Maravan
The Cleethorpes Maravan is a two-day festival of running held on 21st and 22nd November 2026. The programme includes full marathons on both days, with relay teams joining the Saturday event, and a multi terrain half marathon running alongside the marathons on each day.
Distances:
- Full marathon on both days
- Multi terrain half marathon on both days
- Relay teams on Saturday
The course loops around a large holiday park in Humberston, at the eastern end of Cleethorpes. The route is largely paved, with a couple of short off road sections of up to a few hundred metres per lap. Traffic is minimal for late November but the course is not completely closed; minor road crossings are marshalled.
Facilities and services include live results, a custom finisher medal, regular feeding stations approximately every 3.7 miles with water and snacks including a largely vegan brownie, and goody bags with crisps, chocolate and drinks. Toilets are available at the start and finish area, providing facilities roughly every 6 km. There are no secure baggage lockers, but the start and finish area is manned and car parks are close to the course. Local transport options include Cleethorpes railway station and nearby bus services to North Sea Lane.
The event is organised under Association of Running Clubs rules, with ARC insurance and professional medical cover provided. Dogs are permitted but third party insurance for the dog is requested. The event is not commercial; any surplus is used to improve the event and leftover food and drink are donated to local charities and a hospital oncology unit.
