The course uses the concrete pathways and unmade tracks on the Hoe and carries a statement of measurement confirming the distance - but because the tracks are unmade the race is officially classified as multi terrain.
This popular Summer evening series returns for a third year to the unique setting of Samphire Hoe - a nationally important and protected landscape in the shadow of the iconic White Cliffs of Dover. Samphire Hoe is one of the few places that you can truly appreciate the drama of the White Cliffs. Great care has been taken to make the landscape at Samphire Hoe fit in this dramatic setting. The series comprises three fast 5K races with a special Finals Night featuring an end of series 5K plus a feature race for the fastest 20 runners from the first three races competing for a cash prize. The course should be fast, but would suit runners of all standards including beginners. Medal to all finishers.
Prizes and trophies for winners and winners of vet categories 1 to 7 plus special series prizes. Race prizes include six month and one month memberships to Your Leisure in Dover. Plus meals for two at The Allotment - the first Dover town centre restaurant to feature in the Good Food Guide. Wednesdays - 22nd May, 19th June, 31st July at 7.30pm and 4th September 7.00pm. Children's race before the main event.
