Organiser's Description

An exciting new race at Betteshanger Country Park, near Deal in Kent. Betteshanger is a 121 hectare site of the former Betteshanger colliery in East Kent. The tarmac cycle paths provide an ideal traffic-free race venue and the 10 and 5 mile races are gently undulating in parts and suitable for both experienced and first-time runners.

Betteshanger is totally self-contained and provides the ideal venue for a Covid-safe event. We have successfully developed a number of new procedures which are designed to ensure our races will be Covid-secure and ensure the safety of our runners, staff and the general public.

Location & How To Get There

Race HQ: Betteshanger Country Park (formerly Fowlmead Country Park), Sholden, Deal, Kent CT14 0BF

Betteshanger Country Park is accessible by car, rail - and, of course, on foot and by bike.

The park is accessible by foot via two entrances. The main entrance is off the main roundabout at Shodlen on the A258 Deal to Sandwich Road. The rear gate entrance is a 15 minute walk from Southwall Road, Deal.

For those who wish to drive to the event, the park is located just off the A258 approximately 2 miles from Deal, Kent. It is within 10 miles of the A2 at Whitfield.

Please note that there is a charge for the car park (£3 per day), however, it gives you a full day's parking, so we encourage runners and spectators to make the most of the visit and take a look around the park.

The closest railway stations are Deal and Sandwich. You will then need to get a taxi or cycle to the event.

Entering The Event

If you have entered the race in good time, your race number will be sent to you in the post. A full set of race instructions will be sent to you.

If you have entered the race close to the race date, you will need to collect your race number on the day of the event. If you proceed to the registration table, a race official will write down your name and advise you of your race number. You will be asked to sanitise your hands and, if you wish, put on gloves, before collecting your number from a storage box on the desk. Please remember to social distance from the race official and anybody else who is collecting a number. A race official will manage any queues to ensure everybody remains socially distanced.

Please note that you will not be able to enter on the day due to the new guidelines. Entries are available online until midnight before the event.

Course Details

The 5 mile race takes in a two lap course, with the 10 mile runners completing 4 laps around the tarmac paths within Betteshanger Country Park. Run along the purpose-built cycling track, this route is free of traffic, flat and fast.
