Course Notes

• 1977-1983
  The course was two laps of what is virtually now the Wilmington 10k. Thus HQ was at Wilmington Grammar School (then known as Dartford Tech). Course Map
• 1984
  1984 was the first year when HQ was at Central Park. That year the course was a two lapper going out towards Greenhithe (i.e where Bluewater now is). Course Map
• 1985-1989
  The course now was a two lapper basically in the other direction, along Thames Road and then through Crayford. Course Map
• 1990-1998
  Completely new course (start / finish still Central Park). One lap, much of which retained today (at least the first half). The second half took the route through Bean and then Stone. Course Map
• 1999-2008
  Revised route, out along Hawley Rd, Roman Villa Road to Rabbits Road, back via Green St. Green Road, Dartford Country Park and Watling Street. Course Map
• 2009
  Virtually the same as 1999 route but with an extra loop in Darenth Country Park, instead of two laps on the track at the start. Course Map
• From 1985 to 2009 the race was held in conjunction with the Dartford Festival. Sadly, due to increased traffic and congestion in recent years, we have had to move the race to a different weekend. However it does mean that we can now fully utilise Central Park as part of the race route.
• 2010
  The 1999 route but with major modifications. Now using Gills Road and Gore Road instead of Darenth Country Park. Finish uses new bridge and paths in Central Park. Course Map
