EVENT HQ AT WHITSTABLE CASTLE!! Join us for the Saxon Shore Half Marathon along the lovely seafronts of Whitstable and Herne Bay. EVERY finishers get a quality bespoke medal! The majority of the route is along the seafront from Whitstable to Herne Bay and in most part is fairly flat and fast, making it ideal for beginners or those looking for a quick time. For competitors and supporters Whitstable Castle is the Event HQ, with an outdoor events village overlooking the start and finish. Hot and cold drinks and food, live music and commentary.
