Race overview

About Deal Half Marathon

The Deal Half Marathon is a popular Kent half marathon starting near Betteshanger Country Park, offering a scenic route through quiet country lanes and surrounding villages. Known for its well-organised setup and relaxed atmosphere, it’s a strong choice for runners looking for a rural race experience in the South East.

The course is run on open roads and features rolling terrain rather than a flat profile, making it more challenging than many city half marathons. While not a typical PB course, it’s well suited to runners building endurance or preparing for a marathon. Regular water stations and clear course marking help ensure a smooth race-day experience.

The Deal Half Marathon attracts a mix of club runners, experienced racers, and first-time half marathon participants. With a generous cut-off time, it remains accessible to a wide range of abilities while still offering a rewarding test for those aiming to improve fitness or race performance.
