Wye, United Kingdom • 9 Aug 2026
Wye King Challenge 10k & Half Marathon
The Wye King Challenge returns in 2026 with a new event HQ at Wye Village Hall & Recreation Ground in Wye, located between Canterbury and Ashford. The event offers two road and off‑road distance options and takes place amid valley and countryside scenery.
Distances
- 10k - multi terrain route across country lanes and paths
- Half Marathon - longer multi terrain route with valley and hillside sections
The route runs across mixed surfaces and along picturesque country lanes and paths. Runners pass the chalk crown carved into the hillside for King Edward VII's coronation in 1902, which provides the event name and a visible landmark on the course.
The venue provides toilets, refreshments and a small event village. Food and drink are available after the run for participants and their guests.
