34. Blackpool Marathon
Description
The Blackpool Festival of Running Marathon will take place on Sunday, April 26, 2026, starting at 9:00 AM. The course is completely flat along the promenade and consists of two laps, ideal for personal best times. The event offers water stations approximately every 5 km, regular toilets, chip timing, live commentary, medical assistance, and a medal for all finishers ([runblackpoolfestival.com](https://www.runblackpoolfestival.com/marathon.html?utm_source=openai)).
The first marathon of this series returned in 2012 after a long break and has been organized annually by the Fylde Coast Runners since then ([ahotu.com](https://www.ahotu.com/event/blackpool-festival-of-running?utm_source=openai)). The weather the previous year (2025) was typically cool-springlike – ideal for runners but prone to wind along the coast (according to participant reports on Reddit) ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com//r/UKRunners/comments/1of5kuc/blackpool_marathon/?utm_source=openai)). There is no lottery – registration is done directly via the organizer. The elevation difference is minimal (very flat course), with user experiences indicating about 89 m total elevation gain as a Strava value, while the course remains practically flat ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com//r/UKRunners/comments/1of5kuc/blackpool_marathon/?utm_source=openai)).
The number of participants in 2025 was 544 finishers (of which 137 were women, 407 men), which can be considered a realistic estimate for 2026 ([marathonview.net](https://marathonview.net/race/140138?utm_source=openai)).
