Hackney Marathon Braid Bar - Pre-Race Prep Braids

Getting ready for the Hackney Marathon?

Take the stress out of race morning and get your hair sorted in advance with the Mamas That Braid Pre-Race Braid Bar.

I’m an experienced braider with hands-on experience prepping marathon runners with their go-to “aerodynamic” braids—styles designed to stay secure, comfortable, and out of the way from start line to finish line.

Whether you’re running, cheering, or just soaking up the atmosphere, this is your chance to feel prepared, confident, and ready to go.
