About the Event

Chase a personal best on a classic English country course at the Headcorn Half Marathon, February 15th, 2026. This sought-after and correctly measured UKA event, capped at just 500 runners, weaves through the tranquil Kentish lanes of the Smarden Bell and Egerton Forstal. The route is renowned for its fast, predominantly flat profile, with only a modest rise at 5 miles and gentle undulations late on to test your pacing. Since 2014, its reputation for excellent marshalling, clear signage, and a vibrant atmosphere has ensured it sells out year after year.

Starting and finishing on Days Green, the race offers a superb runner experience from the bustling HQ at Headcorn Primary School to the rewarding finisher's medal. With chip timing, team and age-group trophies, and a history of record-breaking times, it's the perfect stage for a competitive PB attempt or a memorable season opener. Secure your spot in this popular, professionally organized event that truly focuses on the runner's journey.
