Penshurst New Year Cross Country – YouTube Summary
Kick off your year with pure adrenaline at the Penshurst New Year Cross Country—a legendary 5‑mile winter challenge set in the heart of the stunning Penshurst village!
Every New Year, runners from across Kent descend on this iconic village course to take on rolling hills, woodland trails, and sweeping countryside views. With crisp winter air in your lungs and the sound of cheering supporters echoing through the valley, this race is the perfect way to launch into a year of fitness, adventure, and community spirit.
Whether you're chasing a PB, running with your club, or just embracing the thrill of an off‑road challenge, Penshurst delivers an unforgettable experience. Past events have drawn everyone from seasoned athletes to first‑timers, with all entry fees supporting Hospice in the Weald—making every muddy stride truly meaningful.
From the electric 11:30 start to the triumphant finish line moments—this is the New Year’s tradition you’ll want to relive again and again. Lace up, dig deep, and conquer the course!
