Whitstable & Herne Bay Half Marathon MoRun
The Whitstable & Herne Bay MoRun is a community running event supporting Movember and men’s health. The event is based at Hampton Pier Recreation Ground, Herne Bay CT6 8EJ, and stages multiple distance options along the seafront and village hub.
Distances include:
- 1.5 km Mini MoRun
- 5 km MoRun
- 10 km MoRun
- Half Marathon MoRun
The route is predominantly hard surface along the seafront with a grass village hub. The course is dog friendly and generally accessible for buggies though some sections are narrow. The 5 km route turns at 2.5 km, the 10 km turns at 5 km, and the half marathon includes a 1.1 km section then repeats the 10 km out and back twice. Runners are asked to follow signs and marshals and to keep to the left unless directed otherwise.
Participants receive a MoRunning medal and headband, full chip timing on a chip on bib system, drinks and snacks at the finish, and access to instant race results online. There are awards and spot prizes for categories such as fastest Mo, best dressed and Mini Mo winners. Event facilities include toilets, manned bag storage under gazebos, limited parking near the park, and a railway station about a 10 to 15 minute walk from the hub. Cut off times are typically two hours for 5 km and 10 km and three hours for the half marathon. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
