Take a look at the finisher medal for The King's Mile 2026!

We'd love to see lots of OKS, parents and friends of King's at this unique running race. The mile starts on Green Court, winds through the Precincts, and finishes with the Cathedral providing a spectacular backdrop to the finish line.

Introducing the official King's Mile 2026 finisher medal! 🏅

The only way to get your hands on one? Cross that finish line.

The route goes right through the heart of the city of Canterbury via the King's Mile, the Marlowe Theatre, city centre and finishes inside Canterbury Cathedral grounds with the magnificent building as the backdrop to the finish line.

There will be three main waves: An elite wave to go first, a mass running mile and a mass participation mile. In the participation wave there will be an opportunity to walk a mile with family, friends, grandparents, children...

After the run there will be refreshments and stalls at Green Court to relax after with friends and family. You can also head into the city you have just run through and enjoy all the amazing shopping, retail and landmarks the city has to offer.

Places are filling fast, so secure your entry today and be part of this year's event.👉 https://www.sportingeventsuk.com/e/the-kings-mile-13360
