Firstly, we’re not just a race. An Impact Marathon is a one-week immersion that takes you far from everything you know, opens your eyes to the world in new ways, and surrounds you with some of the most inspiring people you’ll ever meet.

You’ll live within the community, dive deep into local culture, and witness grassroots impact firsthand. Every day brings something new—meaningful connections, powerful stories, unforgettable experiences. And somewhere along the way… you’ll realise you ran a marathon.

To keep the experience personal and profound, we cap every event at just 30 international Impact Runners. This is trail running at its most human.

Whether you choose to run the 10km, half or full marathon distance, we guarantee an experience like no other.

Running alongside local runners, we have designed incredible courses that tell the story of a nation - a nation you’ve just spent a week helping. Our routes are challenging, but spectacular: from an active volcano in Central America, to the remarkable villages that scatter through the foothills of the Himalayas, to an ancient desert with 12,000 years of human history in the Middle East.

We create routes that draw you in, then stay with you forever. This is much more a victory lap than a race. And believe us, we celebrate that victory together when you cross the finish line.

We work with extraordinary organisations whose primary focus is tackling the biggest issues in each country. During your week with us, you will be engaging in projects led and created by the community, with each one specifically chosen to help take that country one step closer to achieving its Global Goals.

This is our core; this is our soul. You will walk away having seen, felt, and understood your ability to make a difference in the lives of others. By placing our week in the hands of the community leaders we push beyond any experience you've had before.

What's more, all week, you'll be surrounded by a community of like-minded runners who will unlock the best version of you!

The impact we have is the most essential element of any of our races - this is what makes us unique. During your time in-country, you get the chance to visit, learn from, and support the exact projects that your fundraising is supporting. As Impact Runners, we listen, we learn, we engage, and we truly understand the impact we, as individuals, can have in the world.

Each $ raised has a story to tell - a story that needs to be heard. Connecting you with that story is what drives us to create events.You will see firsthand the difference your contribution has made and will continue to make to the lives of others.

You will return home with such a sense of accomplishment and empowerment, already looking for ways to do more.
