Following a decision by the Knole Estate, the 2020 edition of the Sevenoaks 7 was sadly cancelled. In addition, we heard from the agent for the Estate on 8th March 2021 that: "After consultation with the National Trust ... I am sorry to inform you that the Knole Estate will not be permitting any events to take place in the park until the end of 2021." However, Sevenoaks AC does intend to resume holding this race when we can, using the proposed new course here.
