Celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the historic British victory over the French at Waterloo

One off bespoke medals and patriotic dress encouraged! In 1815 the world was very different from what it is today but the signs of these Napoleonic Wars are still very visible along the Kent Coast. The castles at Walmer, Deal and Sandown were all modified to counter the threat of a French invasion that was finally crushed on the fields of Waterloo two centuries ago.

The Duke of Wellington, commander of the Seventh Coalition forces that made up the armies that defeated the French Army led by Napoleon, died in 1852 at Walmer Castle, the turn around at one end of the loop. This historic piece of coast is the perfect location to celebrate one of Britains most significant victories over the French, the final major conflct between the two nations. A victory that changed the face of Europe for generations and something to be thankful for that we're not all now speaking French and saying "Pardon?" in outrageous French accents!

Come and join us in early December for a jaunt along the Saxon Shore Way where it winds its way up the coast at Deal.The course is very flat, with a few tiny undulations, the surface is very good indeed, all hard surfaces and will be mud free and even the most navigationally challenged amongst us will be able to get around the course without getting lost. Promise!

Run as many or as few of the 5.24 mile loops as you wish in this six hour challenge event. Five loops is marathon distance, six loops just a shade over 50k, finish just one loop though and you're an official finisher! Patriotic dress is encouraged, even the Germans are welcome as the Prussians had an important role in the battle against the French. There will be no croissants, smelly cheese or pate anywhere in evidence, however unique one off bespoke medals will be, not to mention our usual standard of actual goody goody bags!

This event forms part of a double weekend at the same location with the Saxon Shore Marathon
