Event overview
Camuplodunum is a self-navigation road and trail event that now covers a marathon distance. The route encircles the town of Colchester and passes field paths, woodland, sea wall, prehistoric defence earthworks, a conservation valley, riverside sections and urban areas. The course was developed to marathon distance in 2023 from an earlier 25-mile boundary route conceived in 1974.
