Marathons for Miracles – Details, episodes & analysis

Across 39 weeks and 39 marathons in the 39 historic counties of England, Olly Brown runs alongside people with personal connections to baby loss, miscarriage, and complex pregnancy journeys. In each episode, he sits down with a runner to talk openly about their story — what they’ve been through, what brought them to the start line, and why this cause matters to them.

Each episode is released in the same week as that runner’s marathon, allowing listeners to follow the journey in real time — meeting the people behind the miles as the challenge unfolds.

These are honest conversations about loss, resilience and showing up — not just on race day, but in life. Some discussions may cover sensitive or emotional topics, and the podcast does not provide or replace medical advice. It aims to create space for shared experiences and open conversation.

The podcast runs alongside the challenge to raise money and awareness for Tommy’s, supporting families and funding vital research to help prevent pregnancy and baby loss.

Listen along for the stories behind the miles — one week at a time.
