It is a RunThrough event featuring chip timing, kilometre flags, stocked water stations, and marshals at key turns. The race returns road running to the streets around Tonbridge, with support from Tonbridge Rotary Club and Tonbridge Lions. Demelza, the local children’s hospice, serves as the event charity, enabling many runners to raise funds. Spectator areas, course entertainment, and cheering marshals contribute to a community atmosphere, distinct from a basic club run. The finish area offers food, drink, complimentary race photos, post-race items, and a themed medal.

The Hastings Seafront 10k takes place on a Sunday morning on Marine Parade in Hastings, beginning at 9:00am from the seafront area around TN34 3AG.

Race HQ is located at Beach Retreat, adjacent to Hastings & St. Leonards Angling Association. Registration opens at 7:30am, with race numbers and timing chips available for collection on the day.

It typically attracts 300 to 400 participants, from those running their first 10K to experienced club athletes. Chip timing and UK Athletics rules provide a formal race structure while maintaining a local atmosphere. The route is primarily off-road for the first 7 km, utilizing well-maintained bridleways, before transitioning to 3 km on residential streets. Marshals are stationed along the course, and a water station is available at the halfway point.

The Givaudan Ashford 10k is a 10k race on closed roads in Ashford, Kent, starting and finishing at the Julie Rose Athletics Stadium.

The route is mostly flat, suitable for both novice 10k runners and club athletes aiming for fast times. Givaudan continues its sponsorship of the race and Ashford AC, with the event organized in partnership with the club. The course travels through Ashford town before returning to the stadium, where the final section is run down the track before spectators. This stadium connection is significant: the race originated as the Julie Rose 10 K Road Race & Fun Run, following the establishment of a memorial fund to aid the construction of the first all-weather running track in Central and East Kent. Every finisher receives a commemorative medal, and race day amenities include music, commentary, toilets, parking, and refreshments at the stadium.

The marathon starts and finishes on the Eastbourne seafront, then enters the South Downs National Park on a challenging countryside route. The race was formerly known as the Seven Sisters Marathon, indicating the type of terrain runners should anticipate. The 10K follows a shorter loop across the Downs to Belle Tout Lighthouse and returns, while the ultra connects the full marathon course with the 10K route for a total of 52K, or 32.4 miles.
