FAQs

Will there be feed stations along the route of the Ladybower Trail Marathon?

Yes, there will be feed stations every 5 miles but runners should make sure they have brought a cup or bottle with them to refill as this event has gone cupless in an effort to limit it's impact on the environment.

Are there toilet facilities at the Ladybower Trail Marathon?

Yes, there will toilets available from 7am and they can be found near the main visitors car park.

Is there mobile reception at The Ladybower Trail Marathon?

No, there is very poor phone signal in this region and it is therefore very important to check in at every feed station on route. If runners do not check in at each feed station they will be disqualified.

Really well organised. Stunning scenery. The food stations had lots of options, juice, electrolytes in packets or fluids, tomatoes, haribo, oranges and bananas. It was like a shop. Tough climb at Mile 15 then technical run down. Over that that no major ups or downs. Would definitely do again

Great race, organised very well and such a brilliant location, watch out for the big hill though!! 😂

The smallest, friendliest marathon I have done. The scenery the whole way round was beautiful! Terrain was a mixture of packed gravel paths, a small grassy section and some rocky and muddy parts (on the large hill which was challenging in the consistent rain!) Very enjoyable experience, well organised, I'll be forever grateful to the lady at mile 18 for her 10/10 cheering and the orange and haribo! Would definitely recommend!
