2 races
Event overview
Run the undulating, quiet, wide lanes outside Ashford in Kent plus a short section on the Pilgrims Way.
Both races carry UKA licences and are accurately measured, which means that a good time for marathon runners could see you secure a ‘Good for Age’ time for a certain somewhat larger big-city marathon!
Both races are suitable for runners of all abilities, from experienced athletes to those new to half or full marathon races. More to the point, this is known for being a friendly event. The race always attracts great reviews and, for those of you who are experienced marathon runners, the event makes a refreshing change from some of the busy, big city affairs.

Suits me, no fuss, no fanfare, just two beautiful laps of the Kent countryside. Sean C
