The flattest marathon you may ever find!

In our quest to bring you ever flatter marathons on even more mud free courses we have found perhaps a near perfect example of a flat, fast, car free marathon course on the Viking Coastal Trail on part of the sea defence wall heading towards the ruins of Reculver Castle.

The route is an approximately 6.58 mile out and back that you'll complete four times on near dead flat tarmac and concrete, the total elevation gain is I calculate, or more correctly my Garmin calculates as 16 feet. In total, not per out and back!

This marathon falls on the American holiday of Thanksgiving and whilst we won't have the full celebration we will have a more American orientated Viking Coastal Medal on offer and more American treats in the goody bags and at the aid station!

We put on marathons run exactly the way we wish they were all run. Low key, friendly and with most of the entry fee being spent on the runners. Please explore the races and consider joining us in Kent for a marathon or two or five!
