This year will be the 25th running of the Kings Head Canter 5K. Yes, 25 years since the first Kings Head canter 5K way back in 1998! Since then, every year on the August Bank Holiday Monday (except 2020), the Kings Head Canter 5K has taken place, and in total there have been 4805 runners enjoy the great atmosphere of this well organised event, complete with barbeque and drinks at the finish.

We are planning to celebrate this 25th Anniversary Year in style, and to start the celebrations we are wanting to invite all past women's, men's, and over 40 age graded winners back this year with a complimentary entry to the 5km run, or perhaps if their running days are now just a memory, to return for a complimentary drink at the finish line, courtesy of the Kings Head Pub, East Hoathly.

If you know any of the previous winners listed below at the bottom of this web page, please let them know of the planned 25th Anniversary Celebrations, and that we would love to have them back this year to enjoy a complimentary free drink and run. Please ask them to e-mail Stuart Mills, e-mail address: info@kingsheadcanter5k.org.uk
