East London’s getting a wild new marathon next year — the Team Marathon, where you and three friends tackle 26.2 miles together, each running 10.55K, starting as a squad in Hackney Wick. It’s not just a race, it’s a festival: DJs, live music, food trucks, brass bands, and big screens — all designed to celebrate the social running boom. Benchmark, the brains behind this, are turning the traditional solo grind into a shared adventure, staggering starts to build hype and community. Pre-sale tickets drop August 26th for 100 “founding team” slots (4 runners each, £26.20/person) with exclusive merch — you gotta be 18+. They’re planning to expand to 3 UK cities by 2027, then Europe. This isn’t a one-off — it’s the future of running.
