Chelmsford Marathon & Half Marathon
Chelmsford Marathon & Half Marathon takes place on 11 October 2026 at Central Park, Chelmsford, Essex, CM2 0FQ. The event offers two road race distances and uses routes that run through the tree lined avenues of Central Park and out onto nearby rural country lanes.
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
Both courses are accurately measured and are often used for age qualification. The courses are described as undulating. The event applies a six hour cut off for completion.
The race is a major fundraising event for Little Havens Children's Hospice. In 2025 the event helped to raise £53,082.82 for the charity. A HAVENS HEROES entry option includes a £16 donation to Little Havens as part of the entry fee.
Race features listed by the organiser include pacers for both distances subject to availability, a Racecheck Silver Award, a well appointed event village, bespoke medals, and trophies and prizes for leading runners. Free heart screening for younger runners is offered in partnership with the Carli Lansley Foundation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
