The Hendy Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon
The Hendy Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon is a road half marathon organised by Tunbridge Wells Harriers and sponsored by Hendy. It takes place in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, with event headquarters at Fusion Sports Centre, St John's Road, Tunbridge Wells, TN4 9TX. The course is a single lap on closed roads and is described as undulating through Kent countryside, including a notable 300 ft ascent of Spring Hill in Fordcombe.
The event uses a strict three hour cut off because of road closure regulations. Recent editions introduced accessibility and inclusivity measures that will return for 2027, including additional toilets around the course and a designated Quiet Zone at Race HQ. Quiet Zone space is limited to 35 runners and is bookable only by half marathon entrants.
Entrants receive a bespoke medal and leading runners earn trophies and prizes. A race t-shirt is available to purchase for £14. On-the-day entry is listed at £40 subject to availability, with earlier offers shown from £32. The event does not allow refunds or deferrals; transfers to another athlete may be self managed up to 10:00 on the Friday before race day.
The race highlights listed by the organiser include a picturesque route, crowd support, and extensive marshal presence. The event has a history of long running by the hosting club and received recognition in past reader polls. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
