Zigzag - the 'other' Run

The Other Run is a unique running event taking place on the same day as the London Marathon, offering participants a choice of distances: 5k, 10k, half marathon, or full marathon. Set at the Suffolk Running Centre, this event caters to those who may have missed the London Marathon ballot, allowing them to earn a virtual London Marathon medal alongside a bespoke Zig Zag medal. The marathon route is officially measured, scenic, and primarily on quiet roads.

Participants can enjoy aid stations every 10k, and parking is included in the entry fee. The event promotes sustainability by encouraging runners to bring their own cups or bottles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
