Join South Kent Mind’s Team for the Folkestone Half Marathon!
South Kent Mind is looking for runners to join our team for the Folkestone Half Marathon on Sunday 28th September 2025 and help raise vital funds for local mental health services in your community.
Whether you’re a seasoned runner or taking on your first half marathon as a fundraising challenge, we’d love to have you on board.
South Kent Mind will cover the entry fee for each runner and kindly encourages participants to aim to raise £120 in sponsorship to support their work. South Kent Mind also hopes to provide branded t-shirts/vests for all runners on the team, so we can proudly show our support on race day.
We are also pleased to announce that Folkestone Running and Athletics Club is partnering with South Kent Mind for this initiative. This partnership builds on our existing collaboration through the successful ‘Buxton Movers’ Couch to 5km group, helping new runners improve their mental wellbeing through running and exercise.
If you are interested in joining the South Kent Mind team, or have any questions, please get in touch at [email protected]
