Brett Lydd Half Marathon & 20 Mile
The Brett Lydd Half Marathon and 20 Mile is a long-standing road running event staged in the marsh town of Lydd, Kent. The races are held on accurately measured courses that utilize the wide and quiet country lanes surrounding the area. The terrain is notably flat, offering participants a route with potential for personal best times.
The event offers two main distances:
- Half Marathon
- 20 Mile
The 20 Mile distance is specifically designed to support training plans for spring marathons, providing an opportunity for participants to practice pacing, hydration, and nutrition. The Half Marathon distance is also available for those looking to race a shorter course. The event is open to runners of all standards, with many participants using the flat topography to test their speed.
The race headquarters are located at The Banks Sports & Social Club on Dennes Lane. Participants are provided with a bespoke finisher medal and access to free race photographs. Trophies and prizes are awarded to the leading runners. The venue offers free parking for attendees. Access to the town is available via several road routes including the A259 and B2075, while the nearest railway station is situated approximately 15 miles away in Ashford.
