The River Great Stour path from Westgate Gardens is about as good a 5K setup as you'll find in a city centre - it’s flat, mostly off-road, and away from traffic within a few minutes of leaving the gate. Dane John Gardens is close by if you want a shorter loop to warm up or cool down. Blean Woods to the north is a different proposition: trail underfoot and enough undulation to make it feel harder than the distance suggests. 10K runs in Canterbury are the next move when you're ready to go further.
Have a look through the listings below. The flat ground along the Stour makes Canterbury a reasonable choice if a fast time is what you're after. Half marathons in Canterbury and marathons in Canterbury are both listed when you want to step things up.
