The University is hosting Canterbury’s only runbritain and UKA licensed and certified 10km run on 27 March. Organised in partnership with Sporting Events UK, the inaugural event last year proved popular.

A fantastic route, starting at Kent Sport Pavilion and following some of the historic ‘Crab and Winkle Way’ through the countryside adjacent to the Canterbury campus.

There will also be Easter activities for all the family, making this a great day out. The Pavilion has changing facilities, and a good selection of refreshments and food there’s even a balcony with seating overlooking the start and finish of the race!

Suitable for all abilities from beginners to elite. Electronic timing chips/transponders will be used at this event. All results will be available at end of the race and will be submitted to UKA and runbritain for inclusion in record and rankings. There will also be finishers medal for all those completing the race, plus category and team prizes!

The event is open to University of Kent students, staff, alumni and the public. To book your place on the University of Kent Official Canterbury 10km run, visit the Sporting Event UK website www.sportingeventsuk.com/enterevent/canterbury10k.
