Folk Marathon, as a grassroots event, has the following simple structure:
- Each Folk Marathon is organised by a local team, which provides the basic structure (venues, timetable, venues, technical support, information etc.) and puts all the elements together to provide a working framework.
- All workshops, concerts and dances are led by participants on a voluntary base (donations possible)
- Participants together with the local team take care that everything runs smoothly.
- The Folk Marathon Committee, consisting of members of local teams of former years, provides support around the year, stays in contact with various teams, looks through applications to find out where the next Folk Marathon will happen.
