Castle Park sits right in the centre of town and is one of the more straightforward places in Colchester to put together a quick 5K. The paths are flat and paved, and running past the castle and Roman walls gives the route more character than your average park loop. The Wivenhoe Trail gives you a longer, traffic-free option along the River Colne. Fancy stepping up? 10K runs in Colchester are the next move.
