The Maidstone Half Marathon returns!

We are delighted to be bringing this event to you in 2026. This race is part of the Kent Grand Prix for 2026. The Event HQ is in Mote Park, a huge park in the centre of Maidstone. The route starts and finishes within the Park and heads out into the countryside via a few of the town roads. It has some sections which are similar to the Maidstone Half Marathon from a number of years ago which was such a popular fixture in the running calendar.

There will be a great mini Event Village, and Mote Park makes a great spot to bring family and friends to enjoy the day with you and watch you head off and cheer you right through to the finish.

Standard Advanced entries: £30 affiliated club members, £32 unaffiliated

On-the-day (subject to space): £40

ADVANCED ENTRIES OPEN UNTIL 1PM THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE THE EVENT. ON THE DAY ENTRIES WILL BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 9AM SUBJECT TO SPACE.
