Britain's oldest recorded town has a lot of flat ground, which is useful for marathon running. The River Colne path and the Wivenhoe Trail give you long, even stretches that suit the kind of steady-effort running a marathon requires, and Highwoods Country Park is there when you want something a bit more varied underfoot. Not sure you're ready for the full thing? Half marathons in Colchester are the sensible first step.
Have a browse through the listings below. Castle Park is worth knowing about for shorter training runs in the centre, but it's the routes out along the Colne that really suit marathon-distance preparation. When you're building up, 10K runs in Colchester and 5K runs in Colchester are good starting points.
