The Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon is a half marathon road running event that takes place in Tunbridge Wells every February. It is organised by the Tunbridge Wells Harriers running club. The first Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon was staged in 1983, with just 53 runners. The race came in at number 38 in Runner's World's top 50 races of 2007, and was given a rating of 83 out of 100 by members of the magazine's forum. The magazine said that "The historical villages and the undulating course make for a great race".Runner's World preview of the 2009 Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon
