Route description
The Deal Half Marathon is a challenging course using the roads through the villages of Betteshanger, Sutton, Ripple, Langdon and Martin Mill.

There will be 4 water stations located at 3, 5, 7 and 10 miles, plus there will be toilets located at miles 5 and 10 - what luxury!
Betteshanger Park, Sandwich Road, Deal CT14 0BF, UK
Get directionsThe Deal Half Marathon takes place at Betteshanger Country Park (formerly Fowlmead) and is accessible by car, rail - and, of course, on foot and by bike.
The park is accessible by foot via two entrances. The main entrance is off the main roundabout at Shodlen on the A258 Deal to Sandwich Road. The rear gate entrance is a 15 minute walk from Southwall Road, Deal.
For those who wish to drive to the event there is ample parking available at the Race HQ. The park is located just off the A258 approximately 2 miles from Deal, Kent. It is within 10 miles of the A2 at Whitfield. Please note that there is a charge for the car park (£2 per day); however, it gives you a full day's parking, so we encourage runners and spectators to make the most of the visit and take a look around the country park.
The closest railway stations are Deal and Sandwich. You will then need to get a taxi or cycle to the event.
