Our Story

The Impact Marathon Series was born from a dream that we could use the simple power of running to uplift communities and empower runners all over the world. 

Over the last five years, we have created 13 entirely unique events, which have taken us deep into the culture of some incredible countries. Runners have united over a shared passion to explore new trails and a hunger to make a difference to the lives of others.

In 2015, we turned our dream into a reality, taking Impact Marathon to Nepal. Living in a Nepali village, we undertook the challenge of building a 5km water pipeline to the community, before lacing up our shoes and running our own race - it was then we realised we have the power to change people’s lives forever. 

Since then, our races have raised $1.2m for grassroots organisations, tackling The Global Goals in their community. 

In just five years, Impact Marathon has grown considerably, with races in five different countries (and more in the pipeline) and a community of over 400 runners, many of whom are already on their 2nd & 3rd races with us.
