The Half Marathon race is a pan-handle out and back course, encompassing an accurately measured course on roads and lanes to the south of Tonbridge town. Most of the course has complete road closure, and there are four water stations with toilet facilities. The course is undulating and this is a challenging race where you'll receive huge support as you go through the tranquil village of Leigh, both on your way out and again on the way back, and an equally enthusiastic welcome on your return to Tonbridge.
Accurate timing and results service will be provided by Identisports, utilising Transponder timing services.  The finish funnel will boast a 2.3m x 1.53m Results Video Wall showing place, participant's name and finishing time as soon as you cross the finish line.
