Saxon Shore Relay

Folkestone - Whitstable

June 2007

The Saxon Shore Relay is a 47 mile team event, run between The Downs overlooking the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone, around the coast to the seafront at Whitstable. Each team consists of 4-5 runners who undertake 4 or 5 legs of about 2 miles each. Fancy dress is optional.

In the past, participants have raised money for a variety of charities. 2007 was the 10th anniversary of the event, and Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund was the nominated charity, proposed by Gill Brundle whose brother had been diagnosed with the disease. Gill's team - the Cave people - came in amongst the early finishers.
