Runners flock to seaside for popular Furley Page Whitstable 10K race

Hundreds of runners and spectators will head to the coast when the ever-popular Furley Page Whitstable 10K returns on Early May Bank Holiday (Monday 5 May 2025).

Organised by Canterbury Harriers running club and Sporting Events UK, the Furley Page Whitstable 10K road race is now in its 25th year. The flat seafront course, which starts from Tankerton Slopes and goes out to Hampton Pier then turns round to end at the Waterfront Club in Whitstable, is known for producing fast times and attracts thousands of entries each year from runners keen to push for a personal best.

Prizes are awarded for the top three men and women, the best three-person team, and the best veteran in a variety of age categories, while all finishers will receive a T-shirt and a medal as mementoes.

Furley Page will enter a team of eight runners for this year’s event and has sponsored the popular running race since 2022, with the Chair of Canterbury Harriers, Melanie Christodoulou, also a Senior Associate at the law firm.

Susan Jennings, Partner and Head of Corporate at Furley Page, said: “This year Furley Page celebrates its 300-year anniversary and as a leading regional law firm with a long-running association with the town, we are delighted to once again sponsor The Whitstable 10K race, following on from our fantastic experience supporting last year’s competition.

“The Whitstable 10K is a uniquely popular seaside event attracting thousands of visitors to the town over the Bank Holiday to compete and support the runners. We’re looking forward to hosting another successful event during Early May Bank Holiday and hope plenty of people will be able to turn out to support the race and enjoy a day at the seaside.”

The 1,000 places for the event have already sold out and a waiting list has been established. For further information about The Furley Page Whitstable 10K visit >>
