The Historical 26.2 Mile Route
The Original Marathon IX is a long-distance running event held in the United Kingdom. The race follows the specific path of the first ever 26.2 mile marathon, which established the global distance standard for the sport. The course begins at Windsor Castle in Berkshire and concludes at White City in London.
Participants run the same route used in the historical race that set the international marathon distance. The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 7, 2026. Because of the nature of the course and the historical significance of the route, the organizers provide a very limited number of places for participants.
The event starts at Church Street Gardens in Windsor, located on Church Street. This distance running activity is managed by Participation Sport Ltd. The route provides an opportunity to follow the exact path used by past athletes through Windsor and into London.
