About
The Ciderthon
A half marathon and 5K where you sample different ciders along the way! Enjoy multiple tasters along the route – and more at the finish line. Set amidst the beautiful Thames Valley, the Ciderthon is a truly unforgettable experience. With plenty of laughs, festival vibes - and great cider - it’s a party from start to finish!
At the Ciderthon, we believe running and cider aren’t mutually exclusive. Inspired by the legendary Marathon du Médoc in Bordeaux, Ciderthon Founder, Nikki, wanted to bring the same spirit of adventure and indulgence to the UK . And just like that, the Ciderthon was born!
