Penshurst Village Cross Country Run

The Penshurst Village Cross Country Run takes place on Sunday, 3rd January, 2027, in the village of Penshurst. Participants navigate a course set within the local landscape around the postcode area of TN11 8DB. The event is designed as a winter cross country race, featuring mixed terrain that includes soft trails and natural ground typical of the Kent countryside.

The following distances and categories are available for participants:

5 Mile Cross Country
5 Mile Cani-cross

The race provides an opportunity for those interested in off-road running to engage with a multi-terrain environment during the winter season. The event atmosphere is supported by a local crowd, and the route utilizes natural paths rather than paved roads. This specific edition of the race is scheduled shortly after the New Year, offering a seasonal trail running experience. Participants in the Cani-cross category complete the same 5 mile distance alongside their dogs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
