Event summary

Get ready for an unforgettable day of fun and fitness at the 10Bay Challenge, taking place on Sunday, May 18th, 2025, in the stunning coastal town of Margate! Organised by Sporting Events UK, this exciting event returns for its fourth year, offering participants the choice between two fantastic race distances: the full 10Bay Challenge, which spans approximately 15 miles, or the shorter 4Bay 10k.

Participants will enjoy a scenic route that takes them through stacks and arches, running from Margate to Ramsgate and back again. After crossing the finish line, participants can unwind at the chill-out area on Margate Main Sands or explore the vibrant local scene, including delightful seaside cafés, restaurants, and attractions like Dreamland and the Turner Contemporary. Don’t miss out on this exhilarating experience that combines the thrill of running with the beauty of the Kent coast!

Organiser's description

Back in 2025 and heading into its fourth year. We have two amazing options for you to choose from, the full 10Bay Challenge, which is approximately 15 miles, or the shorter 4Bay 10k! 

This is a unique event set on the beaches of Thanet in Kent. You will run on the sands and the promenade in and out of 10 bays around the coast. The event takes place at low tide and includes many iconic views and sections which are not passable at high tide. You will go through the stacks and arches along the way heading from Margate towards Ramsgate before returning back.

We will have a great chill out area at the Event HQ on Margate Main Sands, where you can relax before heading off to enjoy the many seaside cafés and restaurants nearby or a visit to Dreamland, Turner Contemporary or the Harbour Arm. There's so much to take in after the event!
