The Rose Bud Marathon

About this event

The Rose Bud Marathon winds through the Northamptonshire countryside, blending canal towpaths, country trails, and quiet roads in a roughly 60-40 split. Starting with transport from Brixworth Country Park, runners follow sections of the Nene Way, Midshires Way, and Northampton Round, passing through small villages and hamlets along the Grand Union Canal. The route offers a mix of terrain that keeps things interesting without being overly technical. With checkpoints staffed by the local running community and full GPS tracking for supporters to follow along, this marathon delivers a well-supported rural adventure through the heart of England's midlands.
