Kent Spring Marathon & Half Marathon 2027

The Kent Spring Marathon & Half Marathon takes runners onto the quiet, wide lanes outside Ashford in Kent for a spring race with a practical, club-run feel. The marathon course consists of two laps, and the half marathon uses one. Both races hold UKA licences and are accurately measured. The route is undulating, not flat, suiting runners seeking a measured road race without the crowds of a major city event. A six-hour cut-off is in place, and the marathon is noted as a London Good for Age qualifier. The course winds through Kent countryside, featuring a short section on the Pilgrims Way, adding a minor multi-terrain element while maintaining accurate measurement. The half marathon includes a significant hill around four miles, followed by more rolling terrain, another incline near mile 11, and a descent to the finish. The event attracts experienced marathoners, club runners, and individuals attempting the half or full marathon for the first time. Feedback highlights strong organisation, a welcoming atmosphere, worthwhile prizes like Nice Work vouchers, and runner benefits such as a quality linen bag.
