Overview
This event is an exhilarating, fast and flat race along the seafront. In recent years, we have included an elite wave to the race so that runners of all abilities can enjoy the wonderful race-day buzz of Folkestone Coastal. The elite wave will return in 2025 and qualification times remain at 36 minutes for men and 40 minutes for ladies. The chance of a fast time is just one of the reasons this race has always been popular. Another reason is its suitability for runners of all standards – from experienced athletes to those with limited race experience and first time runners. We even have a popular and dedicated junior race!

CHARITY Race Entry
If you select to register for the race on a CHARITY ticket, then your entry will include a £5 donation to our charity of the year, The Sports Trust.
The Sports Trust is a not-for-profit charity that dismantles barriers to sports participation. They recognise sport as a powerful tool for social improvement and drive it to its full potential.
