No! The benefit of this marathon is that you log the distance however you would like between 1st - 31st October 2025. Life is busy, there is barely time to train mid season, but this gives you the opportunity to get out and FEEL GOOD by having a goal both physically & mentally whilst giving back to charity as you do.

Yes! Whilst it’s up to you to choose how you cover the marathon distance in October, we will be hosting walk/hikes/runs in 10 locations globally. This means you can find community and join like-minded folks to have a chat with while getting out in nature.

Head here to find a location near you.

We don’t monitor your distance, but in good faith hope you will log your miles accurately!

You can do so on strava - and we’d love to see you in the Marathon 4 Mental Health community club to spur each other on!

You can other see people’s progress around the globe that are doing so at the same time to motivate you!

As part of your welcome pack you will receive a link to create a fundraising page under M4MH’s official fundraising platform Enthuse. This will allow donations to be deposited directly to ISWAN - our charity of choice. Find out more about ISWAN here.

Absolutely! The more the merrier. The distance & fundraising target scales with the number of people entered. We can tailor entries for large yachts/ teams. Please email hello@marathonformentalhealth.com outlining your team size and we will get back to you with all of the details.
