tzruns (the team behind the successful Kent Roadrunner Marathon) are delighted to announce the National 100K and National 50K races, to be held on Saturday 3rd May 2014.

As well as being an open race (available for all runners to enter), the National 100k will be the British Athletics National 100km championship and the official trial race for those aiming to represent Great Britain at the 2014 IAU 100km World Championships. The race also incorporates the Anglo-Celtic Plate (ACP) on behalf of England Athletics. The ACP is an annual home nations' team event, celebrating its 20th year.

Alongside the National 100k we are also hosting the National 50k race. The 50km (31.1 mi) distance is perfect for marathoners looking to step up to ultra-distances. Fast marathoners may like to challenge the British 50km all-time records see here. The distance is also great for seasoned marathoners who like to run for great finishers' medals!

The venue will be Cyclopark in north-west Kent, just six miles from the M25. The perfect smooth tarmac circuit has been used by tzruns for our successful annual Kent Roadrunner Marathon. The private course is traffic, pedestrian and dog free. There is an onsite café (hot and cold food), showers, changing, Wi-Fi and car parking. For more details, see the course page. We are proud our races are supported by the kind folks at CLIF Bar.
