The race attracts athletes from across the UK and abroad and the furthest known travellers to the race have been from Sydney Australia .
North Essex is relatively unrecognised as an area of extreme beauty but has an abundance of hidden back roads amongst rolling hills, woods and farmlands. Even more attractive to runners is that, apart from a 400m stretch in the last mile, the race is entirely on roads with very little traffic.
As a club we have been able to offer a well organised race with every facility to make it a memorable event for experienced and new marathon runners alike.
