We are delighted to announce the return of the Clacton Half Marathon and 10k in 2023. This will be the ninth year of this great seaside event, which continues to grow in reputation and we'll be hoping to top that this summer. Last year's event SOLD OUT so early entry is advised! 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. Half marathon runners complete two laps of the route, with 10k runners completing a single lap. Both races start and finish on the seafront. The event is part of Clacton Carnival Week and in addition to the half marathon and 10k races, there is a Clacton Carnival Fun Run, of around a mile which will appeal to youngsters, families and those new to running.
