How To Get There

Directions By Rail
The nearest main line train station is Dartford, which is approximately 10 minutes’ walk from the Central Park Athletics track, through the town centre.

Directions By Car
At the south-bound Dartford Crossing, leave the M25 at Junction 2; take the A225 towards Dartford on Princes Road; straight across next roundabout (junction w/ Green Street, Green Road and Park Road), then down the hill on Princes Road. Turn right into Lowfield Street and follow the signs to Dartford Town Centre. Cranford road is second on the right.

Course Details

The route follows a one-lap course around the urban and rural roads in and around Dartford. The roads will be closed to traffic, but on some of the rural parts of the course, runners should be vigilant and considerate of any horses and their riders that may be on the route.

First Aid

St John Ambulance or an alternative medical provider will be in attendance on the day and the course will be marshalled to provide assistance.

There will also be a sweep marshal following the race to ensure that nobody is left behind and that all runners are accounted for.

Parking

Parking will be in Acacia Hall Car Park with access via Darenth Road. There is no parking at Dartford Harriers AC, nor in Central Park’s own public car park as this is part of the race route. However, you can use the nearby Dartford Council-operated public car parks (charges may apply at pay and display car parks – please read the notices carefully). Although there is some free parking in roads around Central Park, please note that our closest neighbours live in narrow roads with terraced houses, so many of the spaces are taken up by residents. Please park considerately and please do not park in the Fairfield Leisure car park.

A great event which I will be returning to. I wasn't a runner until I decided that I wanted to run the London 2019 marathon!! The Dartford half marathon was my first ever race I have run in (apart from sports days when I was young) and I was pretty nervous about the whole thing especially as I was going alone, well not the running part actually more where to park, get change, leave my bag but it was so well organised I shouldn't have worried at all. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it and finished in 2 hours 14 mins which I thought was ok for my first run. I just need to double the distance now. Everyone was so helpful and supportive. Thank you everyone that my made day so enjoyable.

a tough morning. Driving up from Sittingbourne I was a touch nervous about trying this new event. We arrived early, before some signs about parking were put out, but a very helpful marshall soon got us to the right place and the cadets helped us park. We walked down to the start and the lady on the tanoy was giving clear instructions and advice. Plenty of toilets so not a long wait for a last nervous wee!! the start could have been a little better organised in terms of suggesting where to be on projected finish time. As a result got dragged along a little too quickly. The course was well signposted and there were plenty of marshalls on the route all offering great support. The hills, I found were worse than described, especially the one around the 10 mile mark, although I managed to run the whole of it without resorting to a walk. Although when at the top I was knackered and those who took the walking option soon re-overtook me!!! At the finish there was lots of encouragement and clapping and the medal was a good looking bit of bling. I especially enjoyed the cookie at the finish line. Good facilities for a shower after to freshen up. A definite challenge of a course and I ended just a few minutes off a PB. Good preparation for the hilly Brighton marathon in April. Would probably do this one again. Thanks for a good experience.
