With a safe supportive atmosphere, flexible format, strong community ethos and unforgettable atmosphere, MK24 brings together runners, families, friends and colleagues for a shared experience that’s as much about connection as it is about miles — and is widely regarded as the very best 24-hour running events in Buckinghamshire.
