The Hendy Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon
The Hendy Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon is organised by Tunbridge Wells Harriers and takes place in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, with Race HQ at Fusion Sports Centre, St John's Road, TN4 9TX. The event is a single loop road race over an undulating, scenic route through Kent countryside and includes the 300 ft ascent of Spring Hill in Fordcombe.
The race is sponsored by Hendy and has been hosted by the club for over 40 years. It was voted No.2 Half Marathon in the UK by Runners World readers in 2011. Road closure regulations mean there is a strict three hour cut off for completing the course.
Accessibility and on-course facilities introduced in recent years are being retained. These include additional toilets around the course and a designated Quiet Zone at Race HQ, limited to 35 runners and available to entrants on a first come, first served basis. The race is one lap on a road closed course and features crowd support along the route.
What is included for entrants are a bespoke medal and trophies and prizes for leading runners. A race t-shirt is available to purchase for £14. On-the-day entry for the half marathon is listed at £40 subject to availability. The event does not allow refunds or deferrals but entries may be transferred to another athlete up to 10:00 on the Friday before race day.
