Julie Rose Marathon

Brand-new in 2025, the Julie Rose Marathon & Half Marathon is a track race at Julie Rose Stadium in Ashford. Runners can tackle either a full Marathon or a Half Marathon on the 400m athletics track, with officially measured distances suitable for qualification for other events. The event features music, live commentary, entertainment and on-site food to create a festival atmosphere.

The lap-based course includes water and aid stations every lap, and results are displayed on a big screen. Finisher medals are unique; facilities include toilets, changing areas, free parking, and on-site refreshments. Cut-off times: 6 hours (Marathon) and 3.5 hours (Half).
