Kent Christmas Cracker 2026

The Kent Christmas Cracker is a Christmas-themed running event held at Betteshanger Country Park in Kent. It features a 5-mile race, a 2-mile fun run, and a junior run. The main race is flat, on tarmac, and traffic-free, suitable for runners aiming for a fast pre-Christmas time or those seeking a simple festive run. The 5-mile route consists of two clockwise laps within the park. The 2-mile fun run follows a single large loop, and the junior race is a 1k out-and-back course. Participants are encouraged to wear Santa hats, and the event supports Shelter.
