The Licensed Trade Charity JOGLE Pub Run 2026

What is the JOGLE Pub Run?

The LTC JOGLE Pub Run is a 30-day endurance fundraising relay from John O’Groats to Land’s End, taking place from 13th July to 11th August 2026 and organised by The Licensed Trade Charity.

Each day, two ultra marathon runners will complete a stage of the route together, with every stage exceeding marathon distance. The average daily distance is 32 miles, with the longest day measuring 36.85 miles.

Alongside the core ultra runner challenge, The LTC JOGLE Pub Run Community Days will invite hospitality teams, local communities and supporters to get involved by running, jogging, walking, volunteering or cheering the runners on at designated points along the route.

Supported by Lucky Saint, Avani Solutions, Thatchers Cider, Star Pubs and Punch Pubs the campaign is designed to celebrate hospitality, promote wellbeing, strengthen communities and raise vital funds for people working in the licensed trade. 

Who can take part?

Community Days – Everyone is welcome to get involved – hospitality workers, pub teams, local communities, supporters and families. You can choose to run, jog or walk at a pace that suits you. 

Ultra Runner Days – If you would like to take part in an ultra runner day, please contact the LTC Events team at [email protected]. 

How long is the route?

The full JOGLE route is approximately 900 miles. Our exact running route may vary depending on road safety, accommodation and pub locations. Daily mileage and route details will be shared in advance. 

How long does the challenge last?

The full JOGLE Pub Run will take place over 30 days from Monday 13th July – Tuesday 11th August 2026, with daily stages available to join throughout the campaign.

What pace will the event be run at?

All participant legs are designed to be social, supportive and flexible. Participants can run, jog or walk their chosen distance. The focus is on community and participation rather than speed.

Is fundraising required to take part?

Fundraising is encouraged to support the Licensed Trade Charity. We ask each runner taking part to aim to raise a minimum of £250.

The LTC will provide resources, tools and tips to help you maximise your fundraising.

Will there be pub stops along the route?

Yes, pubs are at the heart of this campaign. Many stages will start, finish or pass by pubs where supporters can gather, cheer participants on, and take part in activities.

Exact pub stops will be confirmed closer to the event date. Depending on location and mileage, we expect there to be between one and three pub stops per day for breaks, meals or overnight stays.

How will the Licensed Trade Charity use the funds raised?

All funds raised will support the Licensed Trade Charity’s work providing practical, emotional and financial support to people working in the hospitality industry, helping them through hardship, crisis and mental health challenges.

Do I need to arrange my own accommodation?

Yes. Community day participants will need to arrange and book their own accommodation along the route.

What happens if I get injured or can’t finish a stage?

Participant safety is our priority. Medical provision will be on hand throughout the challenge, and a support vehicle will be available if you need to stop during a stage.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The event will go ahead in most weather conditions. However, in cases of extreme weather, routes may need to be adjusted or rescheduled for safety reasons.

How does luggage or kit transport work?

A support vehicle will be available to transport bags each day, although space will be limited so we encourage participants to pack light.

Runners should carry a small pack with essential items such as water, snacks and a phone.
