2017 GREAT RUN BRITISH MARATHON SERIES

The Great Run Company is delighted to announce a fantastic new prize fund initiative for all UK affiliated club runners to accompany the inaugural Stirling Scottish Marathon 21 May 2017 and the Birmingham International Marathon on 15 October 2017   A prize fund of over £70,000 is available for club runners all over the UK, across both marathons, with an individual prize money structure reaching down to 10th place and additional prizes in 3 separate Vet categories in each event.   In addition to the individual structure, there is a separate prize pool for Scottish Athletics and England Athletics registered clubs, extending down to 5th place. With £2,000 available to the winning club in each marathon, we hope the new series will prove a rewarding experience.

Both courses offer a new challenge for the serious club athlete, and the chance to be at the forefront of two marathons that are set to become leading events in the athletics calendar.   Whether it's Stirlingshire's spectacular backdrop, or Birmingham's new and exciting autumn city challenge, it's time to train towards a new UK-based marathon in 2017.   We believe in rewarding the individual and club they run for and our goal is to build upon, and renew, the prestige of marathon running at club level in the UK.   Put your club at the forefront of this initiative by entering today and we'll see you on the start line in Stirling or Birmingham (or both!) next year.       * All individual prizes are for UK athletes only (those holding a UK passport).
