The event hub is located on the large grassed area, to the left of the children’s play area at Hampton Pier Recreation Ground.
Parking
The event hub is based at Herne Bay. The car park is very limited in space, so try to park prior to getting to this location. Do not park on the double yellow lines on Hampton Pier Avenue. Parking officers will be checking and managing this area so we do not want you to get a ticket.
Take a bit more time and park slightly further away. See Canterbury City Council parking options.
By rail
Herne Bay raliway station is the closest and around a 10-15 minute walk.
Amazing route pretty much 98% flat great views and choice of location well hosted only criticism would be the bag area was not well covered it was an open gazebo so bag got soaked and dirty because of the rain and was all mud in the bag area also no where to stand out of the rain while waiting but still a brilliant run itself and good Peter W
