Maidstone's Turkey Run is a festive 7.5 mile mixed terrain running event organised by Maidstone Harriers in East Malling, Kent. A longstanding fixture in the local running calendar, the race brings together club runners and recreational participants for a countryside challenge with a welcoming Christmas atmosphere.
The approximately 12K course follows country lanes, farm tracks, footpaths and woodland trails around East Malling and Barming. Runners encounter hills, muddy sections and uneven ground, particularly through Oaken Wood, making shoes with good grip advisable. The route is fully marshalled, with chip timing, water stations and medical support provided. A separate Canicross race allows participants to complete the course with their dogs.
Finishers receive a bespoke medal, T-shirt and goody bag, while prizes recognise leading runners, age category winners, teams and festive fancy dress. With free race photographs, refreshments and enthusiastic local support, the Turkey Run provides a distinctive seasonal challenge through the Kent countryside.
