It is usually held in spring, around the early-May UK bank holiday period, though exact dates shift year to year. The race was first run in 2012.
Where does the Milton Keynes Marathon finish?

Yes, most editions have run a half marathon alongside the full 26.2-mile race, with team relay options also offered so groups can split the distance. Check the organizer's site for the current year's exact race lineup.
