Clacton Half Marathon & 10k

A local race in Clacton that never disappoints! It's the crash of waves and the sea-salt that lingers in the cool coastal air. It's your moment to fly along the promenade in the best 10k and half marathon of the season!
It's a seaside racing extravaganza not to be missed!

This is a Partner race
This means that we are working with a host Partner Organisation and provide timing and/or race management services for their event.

Event Overview:
This is a true seafront race, taking place along both the top and bottom promenades, with plenty of holidaymakers and day trippers to cheer you on! The course for both races is largely flat and both are suitable for runners of all standards, from those looking to complete their first event to seasoned athletes. You'll be cheered on by spectators and, of course, the marshals are completely wonderful, providing superlative support throughout each and every race. This race is absolute corker and continues to grow in reputation, so early booking is advised to secure your place.

Course Details:
The races are accurately measured and are classed as flat with one gentle incline and decline on each lap. The surface is tarmac or concrete throughout and your favourite road shoes will be fine.  This is a single lapped course for 10k runners, with half marathon runners completing 2 laps. Both races start and finish on the seafront.
