Completing 42.2KM is an incredible achievement any runner should be immensely proud of! Whilst the professionals may complete a marathon in a little over 2 hours, it is more common for amateur runners to take anywhere between 3 and 6 hours to reach the finish line.

We recommend only taking on this distance if you’ve already completed a half marathon and have time to dedicate to a serious amount of training in the 6 months leading up to the event.
