The Maypole Project Chislehurst Half Marathon & 10k

In its tenth year, the Chislehurst Green Spaces Race offers runners an unforgettable journey through some of London's most serene and historic green areas. This half marathon and 10k event not only celebrates the lush landscapes that define this part of Greater London but also raises crucial funds for The Maypole Project.
Set to take place on Sunday, May 16th at 10:00 AM in Chislehurst, runners will traverse a mix of terrain including parks and commons rich with history. This year's event features both the half marathon and an exciting new 10k option, each designed to showcase the hidden green spaces that make this race unique.
The route has been carefully crafted to be more accessible than ever before, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Chislehurst while enjoying a challenging yet navigable course. Runners can download detailed maps and GPX files ahead of time for thorough preparation.
Proceeds from every entry go directly to The Maypole Project, which offers vital psychological support to families affected by complex medical conditions or disabilities among their young members. This local charity has helped over 1,000 families across Kent and South London since its inception, providing emotional assistance tailored specifically to the needs of each family.
Participants can also choose a HEROES ticket, which includes a £5 donation to The Maypole Project for arts and crafts used in play therapy sessions with children. These small gestures make significant impacts on the lives of those receiving support from the charity.
Upon crossing the finish line, all runners will receive bespoke anniversary medals celebrating this milestone event. Leading runners at both distances can look forward to trophies and prizes as an added incentive.
On-the-day entry fees are £35 for the half marathon and £30 for the 10k race, with a limited number of spots available on a first-come-first-served basis. Detailed information will be provided to all registered runners in advance of the event date.
Join us as we celebrate ten years of enriching souls through running while supporting an essential cause that touches many lives across Greater London and beyond.
Runners can look forward to experiencing rich history, beautiful scenery, and a rewarding sense of community at this year's Chislehurst Green Spaces Race.
