Overview
This famous race is much loved for its scenic and challenging route... we must be certain to give a mention to the 300ft ascent of Spring Hill in Fordcombe! The Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon is steeped in local history and thanks to meticulous organisation, value for money and friendly marshals, entries are highly coveted. It was voted the No.2 Half Marathon in the UK by Runners World readers in 2011 and has gone from strength to strength ever since, delighting runners year on year. It is one of the biggest events in the UK organised by a running club and Tunbridge Wells Harriers are very proud to have hosted the event for over 40 years.

This race does not allow refunds or deferrals however, you can transfer your ticker to another athlete up to and including race day.

Race accessibility & inclusivity 
You spoke! We listened!
At the Tunbridge Wells Harriers, we feel that it's vitally important that this race is as inclusive as possible.
As a result of your very helpful and positive feedback from the 2024 event, we will therefore be implementing a number of additional measures for our 2025 race, including:
- Placing additional toilets around the course for your convenience
- Designating an area at Race HQ as a quiet zone for those who might benefit from such a facility 
We look forward to introducing these changes and hope that it will provide an enhanced race-day experience for many of our runners.

To book a space in the Quiet Zone, please contact info@nice-work.org.uk. Your space in the Quiet Zone can be reserved once you have booked your place in the Half Marathon - you will receive an email.
