Paddock Wood Half Marathon
The Paddock Wood Half Marathon is a road race around Paddock Wood in Kent, described as a fast, flat and accurately measured course that runs through hop gardens and orchards. The event is organised by Paddock Wood Athletics Club and is run under UKA rules.
The race is an official England Masters regional qualification race, recognised by England Athletics for Masters qualifying standards. Official pacers are provided for a range of target finishing times, specifically 1:20, 1:25, 1:30, 1:40, 1:45, 1:50, 2:00, 2:15, 2:30 and 2:45. The event also lists results and official race photos from recent years.
Lambert & Foster are listed as event sponsors for 2027 and 2028 and have provided a spectator feature described as a “Selfie Stand” located just after the finish line. The race supports the Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS) as its chosen charity and notes the charity's role in regional helicopter emergency medical services.
Race safety guidance states that in-ear and over-ear headphones are banned under UKA rule TR55 S5, while bone conduction headphones that do not cover the ears are permitted. Competitors using medically prescribed in-ear hearing aids are asked to declare this to the race organisers before the race starts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
