Maidstone Half Marathon : Mote Park, Maidstone
The Maidstone Half Marathon takes place on 18 October 2026 with Event HQ in Mote Park, Maidstone ME15 7SX. The race is part of the Kent Grand Prix for 2026. The route starts and finishes within Mote Park and heads out into the surrounding countryside, using some town roads and sections similar to earlier versions of the Maidstone event.
The event includes a mini Event Village located in the park, providing space for spectators and for participants to meet before and after the race. Entry fees for advanced entries are listed as £30 for affiliated club members and £32 for unaffiliated runners. On the day entries are available subject to space at £40. Advanced entries remain open until 1pm on the Wednesday before the event; on the day entries are available until 9am subject to space. Under UK Athletics rules the minimum age for entry is 17 years on the day.
Participant feedback in source reports frequently notes an undulating, hilly course and scenic countryside sections. Marshals, water stations and road crossing management are often described as well organised. Some accounts mention shared country lanes with local traffic and congestion from other park users near the finish, which are noted as factors to expect on the day.
