Essex 20

The Essex 20 is held annually in March and is an ideal race to run in the build-up to the Marathon season.

Experience the thrill of running in Essex, where history meets the open road! This unique 20 mile event will take place on a 5-lap course at Debden Airfield. This disused airfield has a fast, flat, tarmac course with no sharp corners, and the surrounding tree cover makes for relatively still wind conditions on most days. Ideal for all runners, whether you’re looking to hit a personal best or just want to enjoy an off road run with friends. Join us for this memorable run and be part of an event that’s as exciting as it is accessible!

This race also incorporates the Inter-counties 20 mile road race champs, so we look forward to a competitive field at the front end.

This epic event also plays host to the Essex County Road Running Championships. We will let you know when the tickets for this event go live.
