The Wingham Run
The Wingham Run is scheduled for 13 September 2026 at Wingham Recreation Ground, Wingham CT3 1AR, and is organised by Sporting Events UK. The event offers measured road race routes that run through east Kent countryside and several villages.
The available distances:
- 10k
- 5k
The route starts at the Recreation Ground in Wingham and follows quiet country roads. The officially measured course is undulating; it has produced quick times in the past, so personal bests are possible. An Event Village is located next to the start and finish, contributing to the event atmosphere.
Facilities at the venue include toilets, a car park and refreshments. The race is noted for its handmade clay medals from Canterbury Pottery, commonly described as piggy pottery medals. The organiser states the race has sold out for the last ten years.
Entry fees listed for advanced entries are £24 (affiliated) or £26 (unaffiliated) for the 10k, and £16 (affiliated) or £18 (unaffiliated) for the 5k; on-the-day prices are higher and subject to space. Under UK Athletics rules the minimum age is 15 years for the 10k and 13 years for the 5k. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
