RACE DESCRIPTION

Always the one to attend. Great event and feedback - everything you expect and more from a top class event.

The race is organised by Folkestone Rotary Club (Charity no: 266883) in support of local and international charities with chip timing and entry management services provided by Nice Work.

The 2018 race will aim to raise funds for Action for Children.

The course is fast and flat, out and back, on a predominantly Promenade route, with a cheeky hill to climb just before the finish. The event is suitable for both experienced and first-time Half Marathon runners.

Medals and finish line goodies are on offer for all finishers plus there are prizes for the leading runners.

Souvenir Technical t-shirts available to pre-order for £10.00.

Sponsored by Independent Insurance Services. The race is a UK Athletics Gold Graded event.

No headphones are permitted at this race.

In addition to the main race, there will also be a short Children’s Race taking place at 09:30 am. Entries will also be available on the day.
