Running The Maidstone Half Marathon (Maidstone, Kent) – Fun And Plenty Of Hills!

Maidstone Half Marathon is my local half marathon. Despite this, this was my first time taking part.

Organised by the Maidstone Harriers Running and Triathlon club, in partnership with Sporting Events UK, I’d heard that this was a great half marathon and I wasn’t disappointed!

Starting at the scenic Mote Park in Maidstone, the route takes runners through the park and onto the main Ashford road, through the traditional village of Hollingbourne, along the historic Pilgrim’s Way road, before cutting down into the village of Bearsted and finishing at race HQ back at Mote Park.

I rocked up at the start line on what was a stunning October morning ready and excited to take part. Here’s how it went!
