Welcome to our free to enter MK Marathon 30 Day Challenge! You can start whenever you like and do however much of the course you like each day, wherever in the world you like, as long as you complete it within 30 days of your first run/walk. To be sent one of the official event medals we just need you to raise £50 for one of the charities listed when you enter the Challenge. No entry fee, just a small amount of fundraising. There are lots of other goodies on offer from the charities too!

Our 30 Day Challenge route in the City of Gold follows the official marathon route, held ever January and if you complete it and hit your fundraising goal you'll get one of the official finisher medals. It starts in the west at the stunning Jumeirah Beach and heads to Safa Park and then northeast through some of its main attractions, like the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa and one of the biggest Malls, to the finish at the Museum of the Future in the financial district. We've highlighted the key locations you'd see on the run if you were actually there; just click on each to follow the route. You can see more images of them in the photos under the map and we've included some videos to give you a flavour of Milton Keynes.

To really get you in the mood we have put together a playlist, full of local tunes, perfect for your runs. Just hit the Spotify button under the map. After the videos are some fundraising ideas, MK style, and under those is a tracker where you can update your progress. At the bottom of the page is information on how to send us your evidence. Once we have approved the evidence and you hit your fundraising goal we'll send out your medal and any other goodies that your preferred charity offers. Have fun and enjoy.
