The accurately measured half marathon course starts outside The Grand on The Leas, passes through the coastal park and includes an out-and-back section to Hythe. Much of the route follows the promenade and is relatively flat, though there are a couple of hills. Local community groups provide marshals and roadside support, contributing to a friendly race day atmosphere.
Charity entries include a £5 donation to the Folkestone Rotary Club. All proceeds and individual fundraising are donated to local charities. Organisers list included items such as a bespoke medal, trophies and cash prizes for leading runners, and finish line goodies.
Entry fees listed for on-the-day availability include a half marathon fee of £35 and a junior run fee of £5. The event is presented as suitable for runners new to the half marathon distance and as a component of autumn marathon training plans. Some past participant feedback noted limited toilet provision at the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
