Dartford, Kent
We are excited to announce that we’re pairing up with Dartford Harriers AC to host this undulating yet beautiful, single loop course on closed roads, with an iconic finish line on the athletics track at Central Park Arena!
This ROAD CLOSED Half Marathon route is the perfect opportunity to set a new PB or simply a fun morning out with a unique themed medal waiting for you at the finish!
Heading out from Central Park down to South Darenth, into the Kent countryside, and returning to Dartford town centre to finish on the athletics track in Central Park, this is definitely a race you’ll want to get involved in!
Learn to Love to Read is a small charity targeting socially disadvantaged children within Wandsworth who are struggling to develop the core skill of literacy. Research shows low literacy is linked to poverty and social exclusion and that making children confident readers is the easiest way to improve their life opportunities. To work towards our vision of making “every child a reader’ we provide reading materials, organise early literacy classes (0–4-year-olds), deliver regular parent talks and workshops and offer weekly one-to-one support to primary-age children to improve reading skills and build confidence.
