The Southend 10K is a flat road race based at Southchurch Park East and following the seafront through Southend on Sea. The out and back route takes runners east along the coast before incorporating the wide paths of Gunners Park and returning towards Southchurch Park.
Runners can expect an accurately measured and traffic free 10K course designed for consistent pacing, with the predominantly flat profile making it well suited to those targeting a quick time. Chip timing provides accurate results, while marshals and water stations support runners around the coastal route before the return to the finish.
The Southend 10K provides a distinctive seafront road race with long coastal stretches and an open setting beside the Thames Estuary. Its flat profile and measured course attract runners across a range of abilities, while a separate 3K race gives younger runners aged 11 to 15 their own event as part of the race day.
