Take on the great half marathon event on the south coast. Great for beginner and veteran runners alike, the course is relatively flat and makes it way along the promenade. Come for the chance to record a PB or for the finisher's medal.

Kay HDid the Half Marathon in 2019
In horrific weather conditions, the volunteers were upbeat, friendly and helpful. The race was well organised and the last minute change of route part way through was smooth and still gave an accurate distance. Well done and thank you to everyone involved - you are all superstars!R

First timer for a half marathon. Weather was atrocious but it didn't stop us all going for it! Some great scenario on a very rough autumn day. Well organised, easy to get to and great atmosphere. Same again next year!J

We are french and we spend very nice time.
Peoples were very friendly, organisation is top.
The race was a real challenge this year, very windy and lot of rain but we had lot of fun.
By the way, we enjoy our weekend in Folkestone city, many nice restaurants and nice bars.S

The first time I've run this event, I will be back. This weekend the weather did it's best to spoil things but the support and organisation from Nice Work and Folkestone & Hythe Rotary Clubs was superb, on a dry day I'm sure there would be more supporters on the course but those who braved the elements were brilliant. The uphill finish is a tad mean but overall a fantastic day. Well done everyone involvedJ

There’s a lot of corners with marshals on them, but would have been better if they verbally instructed ‘left’ or ‘right’ etc. because I kept going the wrong way.Weather was awful otherwise course would have been quite good.
Goodie bag was rubbish, no free t shirt or option as add on. I love a t-shirt as memorabilia!

My second half marathon here. This year even though the weather was against us the help and encouragement still shone through. Great organisation, great communication. Thank you!Did the Half Marathon in 2019
Well organised. The only slight criticism would be the inaccuracy of the mile marker boards - some were about 1.5 miles apart, others (between miles 8 and 9) less than half a mile.
