2027 Halstead & Essex Marathon
North Essex's small-field country-lane marathon, capped at 500 with a quiet double-loop course, May 9, 2027. First-come entry, certified Boston qualifier, 7-hour limit.
In early May, the Essex countryside is lush and the lanes are quiet, making this a serene run through classic English scenery. After crossing the finish at the athletics track, reward yourself with a pint of local ale and a hearty meal in one of Halstead's traditional pubs, and take a stroll along the Colne Valley to soak in the spring air.
