START & FINISH IN WHITSTABLE

Now in its 9th year, this event is proving popular and has sold out each year. Join us for the Saxon Shore Half Marathon along the lovely seafronts of Whitstable and Herne Bay. We have a great Event HQ, with an Event Village. We also have enhanced aid stations this year, every 5k along the route. The Event Village is a great place for family and friends to relax and enjoy the atmosphere and is in easy reach of some great viewing points along the course.

**Back in 2026 is the Saxon Shore 10k to the event. Using the same route as the Half Marathon - just a shorter distance. Same great views, same lovely Whitstable coastline.**

The majority of the route is along the seafront from Whitstable to Hampton Pier and back and in most part is fairly flat and fast, making it ideal for beginners or those looking for a quick time.

As with all of our events we organise, we will be using the very latest electronic chip timing. The event is fully licensed and certified with all results being submitted to The Power of 10.
