Quicksilver Christmas Virtual Marathon

Complete your marathon distance on any single day between 1st December – 20th December

Why not make it a goal to run a marathon before the year end?

The race is free to enter, but we encourage entrants to donate or raise funds for the homeless charity, Crisis at Christmas. All finishers will receive an exclusive marathon medal by post.

The organisers, Quicksilver running, will donate their time and resources free of charge.

All you need to do is hit the ENTER button and complete the online entry form. You will then need to complete the marathon distance within the time period of 1st December – 20th December.

Once you have completed the run, simply submit proof of your recorded run (strava or garmin etc.) via the button below.

All finishers will be posted a bespoke Quicksilver Christmas Virtual Marathon medal!

Not marathon fit?

Want to take part but can’t manage a full marathon in one go?

We have had several people ask, can I do the run over more than one day? To qualify for a race medal you need to complete the marathon as a single effort over one day. However we are keen to promote exercise open air activity and of course raise as much money for Crisis at Christmas as we can. So if you would like to challenge yourself to do the distance over two or more days you can still take part.

Send us an email with the subject line Quicksilver Christmas Multiple days Marathon

We will record you as an entry and send you an email confirmation by return. When you have completed the distance send us a further email, with details off how you achieved it (no proof required)

For example: Monday 7^th, 5 miles, Tuesday 8^th 5 miles Wednesday 9^th 5 miles, Friday 11th 5 miles, Saturday 12^th 6.2 miles Total = 26.2 miles.

We won’t send you a medal but we will email a certificate of achievement. You can still make your donation to the Crisis for Christmas just Giving page, and ask sponsors to make donations on your behalf too!

Sunday It was forecast wet with a blustery South Westerly wind, so I went for a different route, heading down into Kingston then South on the Portsmouth Road to the Scilly Isles. The first four miles into the wind was quite hard, but after that was easier and the rain stopped. The 8 mile point […]
