This is something a little bit different. Run a Marathon or Half Marathon on the athletics track at the Julie Rose Stadium.

Brand new in 2025 is the track marathon and half marathon at the Julie Rose Stadium in Ashford. We have teamed up with freedom leisure to bring you this great event.

We have planned music, commentary, entertainment and great food to make a day of this special event. Our timing system will count your laps and display this on the big screen making it easy for you to know how many laps you have completed.

The distance is officially measured and so can be used for qualification for other other events where particular times are needed for places.

Water and aid station every lap, so no worries about running out of water or supplies during your run.

The cut-off time for the Marathon is 6 hours, or 3.5 hours for the Half Marathon.

Every finisher gets a unique medal.
