The Mount Ephraim 10K returns on Sunday 9 August 2026, inviting runners back to one of Kent's most picturesque road races for another memorable morning of summer running.

Organised by Nice Work, the popular event starts and finishes within the beautiful grounds of Mount Ephraim Gardens near Faversham before heading out onto an accurately measured 10K route through the quiet country lanes of Hernhill, Fostall and Dargate. Combining rolling countryside, testing climbs and sweeping views across the Kent landscape, the race has become a firm favourite with both club runners and recreational participants.

Alongside the main race, a Junior Run gives younger runners the opportunity to experience race day, while the event also raises valuable funds for Oasis Domestic Abuse Services, supporting people affected by domestic abuse across Kent and Medway. Every entry also includes admission to the stunning Mount Ephraim Gardens, allowing runners and supporters to make the most of the day.

Participants can expect chip timing, a bespoke finisher's medal, free race photography, trophies for leading runners and free parking, with the welcoming atmosphere that has become synonymous with Nice Work events. The combination of excellent organisation and an outstanding venue continues to attract runners from across the South East.

The Mount Ephraim 10K offers a route that rewards determination as much as speed. The undulating country lanes provide an honest challenge, while the spectacular surroundings ensure there is always something to admire along the way, making the race as enjoyable for those taking in the scenery as it is for runners chasing a fast time.

Whether you're discovering the event for the first time or returning for another visit, the Mount Ephraim 10K combines beautiful scenery, a welcoming atmosphere and a rewarding course to deliver one of Kent's standout summer races.
