A superbly crafted Spring marathon & half marathon through some of Kent's prettiest countryside for your racing pleasure... Will you accept the challenge?

Overview

This popular Kent Spring race sees a two-lap marathon and a single lap half marathon, covering 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. 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.

Please note: there is a six hour cut off for this event. If it will take you longer please contact info@nice-work.org.uk
