Reverse London Marathon at Midnight 2026
Now that’s an event like no other! An unforgettable experience that still hasn’t quite sunk in!
When @stephsbath suggested this to me about six months ago I knew I had a trail marathon that weekend already, but of course I said YES!
With an hours nap and a fresh set of kit plus road shoes this time we set off for London.
We had been told to gather in Trafalgar Square around 11.15pm for a briefing and the sheer volume of people arriving was mind blowing! Some running, some walking, all following the official London Marathon route but from the finish line to the start line. No closed roads just us sharing the pavements with the people of London.
It was incredible ( if a little painful just 10 hours after the Bath Beat!)
Running through the night is a magical experience, but running through the streets of London, on the marathon route and sightseeing between midnight and sunrise is all kinds of insane!!
Huge thanks to the organisers and volunteers ( and they’re all volunteers!), to all of the other participants and especially to @stephsbath who was the very best company and logistics manager all rolled into one ❤️🫶
Would I do it again ……hell yes!
