Experience a 10K like no other, taking in coastal paths on the sea wall of the Dengie peninsula, adventurous trails across open countryside, and great start and finish sections through the main streets of the town.

 

This flat, single-lap, super-scenic course is suitable for complete beginners to old-timers and is so much more memorable and enjoyable than any typical road 10K.

 

Starting and finishing at the Dengie Hundred Sports Centre, free parking, changing, and toilets are available, with lots of space to bring friends and family to spectate, play at the park and indulge in post-run food and drink.

 

Organised by The Rotary Club of Burnham-on-Crouch and Dengie Hundred, and delivered by The Race Organiser, you'll love the friendly, local atmosphere and support and find yourself a new favourite race to return to each year.

 

Entry on the day will be subject to availability.
