Event overview

Based in the historic fishing port of Whitstable, the route heads along the harbour and along the beach towards Seasalter. This is a new route which showcases the harbour and the beaches not normally used for running events - it's a very different option to our other Whitstable based events. With a choice of 5 Miles or 5k. We have also created the Neptune Mile for those wanting run, walk or jog a mile from the Harbour along the beach to the Neptune pub and back. There really is something for everyone. The Event HQ is at the South Quay Shed with some great catering options for everyone to enjoy before exploring the town.

This event is part of Whitstable Harbour 5 Mile and 5K incorporating the Neptune Mile.
