Kent Spring Marathon & Half Marathon
The Kent Spring Marathon & Half Marathon takes place in the countryside outside of Ashford. The event offers two distinct distances over an undulating road course that includes a section on the Pilgrims Way. The routes utilize quiet, wide lanes to provide a scenic running environment.
The event features the following distances:
- Marathon (26.2 miles)
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
The marathon consists of a two-lap course, while the half marathon is completed in a single lap. Both distances are UKA licensed and have been accurately measured. The event implements a six-hour cut-off time for participants.
Race headquarters are located at the Sandyacres Sports Club. For those traveling by rail, the Charing railway station is located approximately half a mile from the venue, with connections available from Ashford International. On-site benefits for participants include free parking at Bidwell's Car Park and free race photographs.
All finishers receive a bespoke medal. Trophies and prizes are awarded to the leading runners in the competition. The 2026 edition of the race supports the Ashford & Tenterden Samaritans as the official partner charity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
