Celebrate the 600th Anniversary of the English victory!

One of the most historically significant battles. In 1415 in the midst of the Hundred Years war against the French the English archers gained an historic victory over a numerically superior French army (by as much as 6:1 depending on the source). Henry V led his troops from the front to triumph and the battle is the centre piece of the play Henry V, by William Shakespeare.

An incredibly significant historical battle in that it demonstrated innovative forward thinking and a change in contemporary tactics that led to the crushing English victory. This demonstration of English superiority over the French is worthy of remembrance and celebration for such a significant anniversary for which we will have minted a unique one off bespoke medal!

We've chosen this course for this event to distract you from the sea wall! For any of you that have run the Kent Coastal Marathon this is part of the "dreadful sea wall around the coast that's always into the wind" but not only that, we've extended it to the end of this section and we make you run it four times and throw in a climb up and down the cliff four times too for good measure. we promise its going to be a really good medal! Not to mention our usual standard of goody bag!

The course is 100% good surfaces (lots of concrete I'm afraid but some tarmac), perhaps with a bit of seaweed thrown in as that always seems to get thrown up over one bit of the course,and its bound to be in to the wind, both ways and the hill is quite steep too! On the plus side if you like the views of the sea and a low cliff you'll be in your element as the course is 80% like that, there is a wind farm to look at, but its a long way out to sea. Even that's not very interesting after the first 30 seconds, and if its murky, well, you can't even see that.

It's probably not co-incidence that this date is also "Black Friday", but to lighten the dullness of the course and endless concrete part, the 24 false end curves and the howling reversing wind that always curses this part of the world, we're also going to have a "Fudge Friday" day, there has to be something to keep you going!

Seriously, think about the medal. it'll be a one off!
