Badlesmere 10K

Nestled within the picturesque Kent North Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Badlesmere 10K offers runners an unforgettable journey through rolling hills and lush landscapes. This challenging yet scenic route is designed to test endurance while rewarding participants with breathtaking views at every turn.
Scheduled for Sunday, May 16th, 2027, this event kicks off early morning with a dedicated kids' race followed by the main adult competition starting at 10:00am sharp. The entry fee of £25 + booking fees grants access to a host of amenities and services tailored to enhance your experience.
The terrain features undulating stretches that make it less about speed and more about grit, providing an ideal setting for those aiming to push their limits or simply enjoy the beauty of autumn in Kent. Whether you're chasing personal bests or just looking for a memorable run, this course has plenty to offer runners and walkers alike.
Upon registration, participants will receive a race bib along with chip timing to track your performance accurately throughout the 10km route. The event also includes free bag drop facilities, on-site toilets recently refurbished for comfort, changing rooms, first aid stations staffed by medical professionals, complimentary parking, three water stations strategically placed along the course, and refreshments at both start and finish lines.
Post-race celebrations are enhanced with a bespoke finishers' medal to commemorate your achievement. Additionally, prizes will be awarded across various categories including overall male/female winners as well as age divisions for added competition and recognition.
Spectators are encouraged to join in the festivities by cheering on participants from designated viewing points along the route or enjoying refreshments at the start/finish area with friends and family. With a strong community spirit, this event promises not only an athletic challenge but also a warm welcome for all who participate or come to support.
