Entries are now open for the 28th staging of the Darent Valley 10km race which takes place in May.

Organised by Swanley and District Athletics Club, the course starts and finishes at the Headquarters and is mainly rural and undulating along country lanes, passing through picturesque Farningham village and past notable landmarks such as The Roman Villa and Lullingstone Castle.
