Monday 4th June 2012 - 0900 Race Start

The inaugural Kent Roadrunner Marathon will take place at the beautiful new Cyclopark venue in north-west Kent on the Bank Holiday Monday of the Queen's Jubilee Weekend. This multi-million pound venue has been constructed on a green-field site adjacent to the new A2 and Channel Tunnel rail link. Containing several different cycling arenas, the marathon will make use of the 2,493m smooth tarmac track. The track was primarily built for cycling races, so expect sweeping bends, gentle slopes and absolutely no traffic.

The looped nature of the course makes it an ideal location for spectators (all are welcome!) as well as an easy event to judge your pacing to perfection.

The date has been chosen to allow those London and Brighton Marathoners to put their fitness to good use with a great opportunity to try for a new PB on a new event at a new venue.
