The mass participation fun run attracts thousands of joggers and walkers of every age, size and ability, all coming together to celebrate the annual countdown to the start of the Games on 27 July 2012.

The event was first staged in 2007 at the former Black Lion Leisure Centre. It now takes place in historic Rochester, weaving through the high street, the Vines and the Cathedral grounds before ending under the Norman keep of Rochester Castle.

The Medway Mile is free to enter and every participant receives a free
t-shirt. It is open to runners and walkers of any age or ability and also includes a raft of free activities for all ages.
