5k Runs Found In Chelmsford
The most comprehensive list of 5k Runs in and near Chelmsford in 2026 - 2027. Find your perfect race!
Central Park and Admiral's Park sit right in Chelmsford city centre and between them give you flat, paved loops that are about as straightforward as a 5K gets. The River Chelmer towpath extends things nicely if you want to add distance, though it gets muddier the further out you go. Hylands Park on the outskirts is worth the trip for something different, providing woodland trails and more varied ground underfoot. 10K runs in Chelmsford are the logical next step when you're ready to push on.
Have a look through the listings below. The flat ground in the parks makes Chelmsford a decent option if you're chasing a PB. Half marathons in Chelmsford and marathons in Chelmsford are both listed when you want to go further.
