North Downs Run – 29th June 2025

The 41st staging of the North Downs Run on 29th June again saw temperatures going over 30 degrees making the already challenging event even more challenging. So huge congratulations to the 413 finishers!

First home for the men was Brian Jenkins in 1.58.46 – the only runner to break the 2 hour mark.  The female winner was Amelie Karlsson in 2.22.22.

Istead had 27 runners with Keith Fairbank finishing in 5th place (2.02.40) and Karla Coka (2:48:47)  first Istead lady – 15th female, 4th in her age category and picking up a bronze medal in the BMAF Multi-terrain Championships.  Veteran runners Trevor Edgley and Barry Bell picked up Silver and Bronze medals respectively in the M75 category of the BMAF Championships.

Thanks again to NE Timing for the race results
Huge thanks too to the 120 marshals and other helpers, many of whom were out in the sun for several hours – not as tough as running it but nonetheless pretty exhausting.  The feedback from the competitors was overwhelmingly positive – here are just a few of the many comments we have received:
Marshalls were so kind and encouraging. Thank you all
Thanks again for a fantastic challenging event.  A much more interesting route with fantastic marshals to support you though the remaining countryside in Kent.  Thank you for the team at the start/ finish who looked after us with drinks, cake and first aid. Top team, thank you.
Hi, Just wanted to thank everyone for another brilliantly organised North Downs Run, especially considering the conditions this year
A massive thank you to all the volunteers, marhals and supporters, you were amazing, and you too were out in that heat for a long time, I must say i was glad of the extra water stations, thanks again
We have literally hundreds of photos to sort through and will be posting as soon as possible but head over to our North Downs Run Facebook page for a few photos and videos.

 We have used the same course now for the past two years and as always the runners were very enthusiastic about the beautiful Kent countryside.
