On Sunday, November 29th, the Towers School in Ashford welcomes runners for an exhilarating return of one of Kent's most cherished races. After over three decades and more than thirty-five editions, this beloved 10k race is back with a fresh new name but retains its historic charm and competitive spirit.
The event offers participants ten kilometers of undulating country lanes surrounded by the picturesque landscapes around Westwell.
