Enjoy a summer evening running challenge at the Ashford Striders Charing 10K, a popular community race set in the beautiful Kent countryside. Organised by Ashford Striders, this friendly event welcomes runners of all abilities, from experienced club athletes looking to test their fitness to newcomers keen to enjoy a scenic 10K.

Starting and finishing at Charing Playing Fields, the route takes runners through the picturesque village of Charing before heading along quiet country lanes towards Eastwell and the historic Pilgrims Way. The undulating course features a challenging climb, followed by a rewarding downhill stretch towards the finish. Combining predominantly tarmac surfaces with a short off-road section, the route offers an enjoyable mix of terrain and attractive rural scenery.

Renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and enthusiastic community support, the Charing 10K is a favourite among local runners. Friendly marshals provide plenty of encouragement along the route, while the absence of a cut-off time makes the event accessible to runners of different abilities. A dedicated junior race also gives younger participants the chance to join the action, making this a great evening of running for the whole family.
