Lambert & Foster continue their sponsorship of the Paddock Wood Half Marathon
Lambert & Foster are once again pleased to announce they are sponsoring the Lambert & Foster Paddock Wood Half Marathon and have committed to support this local event for another two years over 2025 – 2026.

Lambert & Foster are a RICS regulated property firm with specialist teams of registered valuers, estate agents, lettings agents, planning and development surveyors, auctioneers, farm business consultants and rural and commercial agents. Paddock Wood has been home to one of Lambert & Foster’s office for more than 110 years, and they are pleased to sponsor what has become the largest local event of the year which brings so much community spirit and support. Now in their 125th year, Lambert & Foster have lots to celebrate, with the Lambert & Foster Paddock Wood Half Marathon being one of them!
You will be able to see some of the Lambert & Foster staff running the race on the day. Alan Mummery, Director of Lambert & Foster, whose family have been on the L&F running team for many years and has himself participated in this race 3 times, says;
‘’It’s a great event to support with runners of all abilities taking on the challenge each year. We encourage colleagues to be part of this annual event by sponsoring their entry fees. Whilst we have committed for another 2 years, we do hope to continue supporting the half marathon and the Paddock Wood Athletic Club in the future.’’
Over the years that Lambert & Foster have sponsored this event, runners have enjoyed the motivational marker boards which appear every mile and the finisher’s podium where participants can get a memorable photo to mark the occasion. Alan has also been on-hand to award the winners trophies and hopes to do the same this year.
James Ridger of the Paddock Wood Athletic Club and organiser of the half marathon has been working with Lambert & Foster since their sponsorship begun in 2018. The collaboration has resulted in a great relationship and the longevity of the sponsorship shows just how important it is that local companies support events such as these. Lambert & Foster are proud to put their name to the event and the half marathon is now fondly known as the Lambert & Foster Paddock Wood Half Marathon. James says;
“It’s great to have Lambert & Foster supporting both the half marathon and Paddock Wood AC once again. Lambert & Foster are a great local business to be working with, very positive, helpful and have some great ideas like the humorous mile marker boards and selfie stand which have improved our race further. We are the biggest running race in Kent and we continue to support local charities as well as improving our clubs facilities for both our adult and junior club members.”
