Summer Runnin' 2026

2nd August 2026

Queer Run Margate presents a DIY non-competitive coastal race!

9am - Meet at the Car Park of the Margate Lido Complex - for registration and bag drop

The race starts on the green across from Forts and heads along the seafront towards Botany Bay and back.

A fun, non-competitive run or walk along the Margate coast, with route options of 2.5k, 5k, or 10k.

Trans and Queer-led, and open to everyone - allies, kids, and dogs warmly welcome!

Finishes with a Beach Party! Bring snacks and drinks. Forts, Oast, Doubloons (and more!) are right around the corner for ice coffees and food.

Summer Runnin' is completely free to attend - but if you'd like to give something back, as part of your ticket you can add a donation to be split equally between two brilliant local causes: Margate Black Pride & Margate Queer Library & Archive

Make a homemade medal for a fellow participant! It doesn't need to be a masterpiece - it's all about community spirit. This is optional, and there will be spare medals on the day.
