🚨 THE SECRET IS OUT 🚨

We’ve teased it.

We’ve hinted at it.

And now we can finally reveal it…

🏃‍♂️ The Canterbury Trail Marathon & Half Marathon 🏰🌲
Sunday 25th October

This isn’t just another race.
This is the beginning of something BIG.

Showcasing the very best of the Kentish landscape, the routes wind their way through a varied mix of scenic trails, rural footpaths, and quiet country lanes, offering runners a true trail running experience.

Both the marathon and half marathon distances take you across rolling farmland, along historic pathways, and through peaceful stretches of open countryside. Expect a course that is diverse and engaging — from wide, runnable tracks to more technical trail sections — all designed to challenge and inspire runners of every level.

The Canterbury Trail Marathon & Half Marathon is perfect for seasoned trail runners chasing a new challenge or road runners looking to step off the tarmac and onto the trails.

We are delighted to be supporting the Kent Neuro Therapy Centre.

Kent Neuro Therapy Centre is an independent charity based in Canterbury, providing expert care and specialist therapies for people living with stroke, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s. They work alongside individuals and families as they navigate life-changing diagnoses, delivering personalised support designed to rebuild strength, restore confidence and maximise independence.

The Centre's experienced team creates tailored therapy programmes focused on what matters most to each person - whether that is walking further, improving balance, managing fatigue, returning to work or regaining the confidence to take part in everyday life. By bringing together clinical expertise and genuine compassion, the Centre ensures each individual feels understood, supported and equipped to move forward.

£1 from every entry fee will go towards supporting their work. You can choose to fundraise for the Kent Neuro Therapy Centre or to make a spot donation in addition to this.
