Basildon Half Marathon and Juniors : September 2027
The Basildon event stages a road-closed half marathon through the town and a separate juniors race. The half marathon is a single loop described as fast and flat, with a mix of urban and countryside roads and gentle undulations. Each kilometre is marked with distance flags and marshals are positioned to guide and cheer participants.
