North Downs Run
The North Downs Run is an annual, not for profit road race organised by Istead & Ifield Harriers. The route starts and finishes at Cyclopark and runs through the Kent countryside. A plot of the course is available on route mapping services and the organisers provide a brief history of the race.
Recent editions recorded 373 finishers and 5 runners completed the course in under two hours. Results include overall podium places, category winners, BMAF results and a separate fun run. The event is licensed by Run Britain and in 2023 received the BARR Gold Rating for Outstanding Race Management.
Photographs from the race are shared on the North Downs Run Facebook page. The organising committee thanks the volunteers and sponsors who help before and during the event. Proceeds from the run are used to support local charities; past beneficiaries include Ellenor, Darent Valley Hospital, the Elliott Holmes Memorial Fund and BEAM. The committee reviews allocation of donations each year.
The organisers plan to hold the next edition on 27 June 2027. Past results for multiple years are maintained by the club. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
