Folkestone Coastal 10k
The Folkestone Coastal 10k is a seafront running event held at Coastal Park, near Leas Cliff Lift lower station, Folkestone, Kent CT20 1PS. The event uses the promenade path off road and is described as a flat out-and-back route with seaside views.

An elite wave is included for faster competitors; for 2026 the stated qualification times are 36 minutes for men and 40 minutes for women. Detailed route maps and GPX files are available for download. Past participant feedback highlights strong marshalling and spectator support and notes the course offers potential for fast times. Some reviews report congestion at the narrow start sections and occasional shortages at water stations and toilets for later finishers.
Race entries may include a charity option that adds a £5 donation to The Sports Trust, a not for profit organisation mentioned by the organiser. Included items listed for finishers are bespoke medals and a junior medal; trophies and prizes are awarded to leading runners and a cash prize of £150 is given to the first male and first female finishers. On the day entry fees were listed as £32 for the 10k and £5 for the junior run subject to availability. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
