Lichess Marathons

Hello all,
Really enjoyed my first time playing a marathon earlier today! It is quite a gruelling event and certainly not for the faint-hearted but very fun. I can confirm you don't need to play the full 24 hours to place well. Does anyone know when the next event is planned? Is it always a 3 0 time control?
Every 3 month there is a marathon. (apart from the variants marathon with is every month a different variant)

Time controls are different each time.
3, 3+2, 5+3(sure) and (this one is a guess ) 5 min.
Oh great, thanks for the info! Yeah that's what I suspected, it's difficult to find info about them though. Pity all the other time controls are longer, I prefer the shorter ones for marathons so you don't have to beserk all the time! Hopefully the next date lines up well...
Variants unfortunately not really my thing
