FOLLOWING the successful staging last year of the initial Romney Marsh 10K it will be back again this yearon Sunday July 15.
Last year it clashed with several Kent events so it has been put back a week and the only other change is that the children’s fun run will be before the main event and not during it.
It is staged at St Martins Field in New Romney starting at 10.30am with the children’s run at 10.15am.
Entry is £14 for unattached runners and £12 for club runners and £2 extra for entries on the day. Children’s run will be £2.
The race is over a fast flat course through country lanes with a £50 prize to the male and female race winners. There is a race memento for all finishers. The course is considered not suitable for wheelchairs.
