Race Description

Now in its 34th year, the Dartford Half Marathon has been held every July since 1977 when it was won by Steve Ovett, who went on to win the Olympic Gold medal over 800 metres at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. The race is held over a challenging undulating course starting at the Central Park Athletics track then heading out onto the roads, threading through the picturesque lanes around South Darenth before returning through Dartford to finish on the track in Central Park.

There are a number of changes in place this year…

* We have moved the event to a different weekend to the Dartford Festival. This is in order to reduce congestion, and to enable us to use the paths of Central Park as part of a new race route.
* We will be using electronic chip timing.
* We have designed a new route which avoids crossing major roads and minimises the time spent running in built up areas. We hope that this will lead to a more pleasant racing environment and improve safety for competitors and marshals.
