Dear Blackheath and Bromley
Harriers,
I hope you’re well. I’m sure that,
like all running clubs, you receive a steady stream (or flood!)
of requests to promote upcoming running events amongst your
members.
The Russet Runners Marden 10k, now
in its second year, is a local independent 10k event, organised
by the Russet Runners club. We rely heavily on the support of
local running clubs and word-of-mouth recommendations to help
spread the word about our race.
Our 2024 inaugural event was a huge
success, and we were really delighted with the glowing feedback
from our 300+ runners. We aren’t part of a large organisation
with a huge mailing list - therefore, your help in sharing the
event with your members would mean a great deal to us.
The details for this year’s event
are as follows:
-
Date: Sunday 1st June
2025
-
Time: 9:30 am
-
Race HQ: Southons Field,
Maidstone Rd, Marden, TN12 9AE
-
Entry Fees:
-
England Athletics affiliated
entry: £22
-
Non-affiliated entry: £24
All participants will receive a
free finisher's t-shirt (if entered by 11th May 2025) and a
medal. There are also cash prizes for the top finishers
in male and female categories, plus a new prize for the first
junior (under 18) finisher.
The race features a scenic route
through the village of Marden and surrounding countryside. The
first 2km of the route are closed to road traffic. The route is
mostly flat with a few gentle undulations.
If you’re able to share this event
with your members, we’d be incredibly grateful. There is a promo
video from our 2024 event available to watch at:
https://youtu.be/oR20ptN1KJM - I’ve also attached to this
email a copy of our A5 flyer, as well as a square version which
is suitable for social media, WhatsApp, etc.

Thanks so much for considering
spreading the word amongst your runners. We truly appreciate
your support, and we’d love to see some of your runners join us
in June.
With many thanks,
Jamie Phillips
