Race overview

About Maidstone Half Marathon

The Maidstone Half Marathon is a long-standing UK half marathon held in Kent, known for its scenic countryside setting and challenging, undulating 13.1-mile route.

Starting near Mote Park, the course takes runners out onto rural roads surrounding Maidstone, offering a quieter running experience with rolling hills throughout. The elevation profile makes it a tougher option compared to flat city races, appealing more to runners seeking a challenge than a pure personal best course.

Well supported by local volunteers and spectators, the event has built a strong reputation as a reliable and well-organised race on the spring calendar. It attracts a mix of club runners and experienced participants looking to test themselves on a more demanding course.

While not typically considered PB-friendly, the Maidstone Half Marathon remains a popular choice for those targeting strength-building races or preparing for hillier marathon courses.
