Using a combination of the St. Edmunds Way, Stour Valley Path and the Essex Way, the Stour Valley Marathon covers 27miles of tracks, trails, roads and byways along the route. Keeping with the tradition of this event over the many years that it has been running, it will be predominantly a self navigation, but there will be fully stocked aid stations and checkpoints at approximately 6,11,15 & 20.5 miles.
The Half Marathon starts at 9.30am.
