Event details
Chelmsford Marathon & Half Marathon takes place on 12 October 2025 at Central Park, Chelmsford, Essex, CM2 0FQ. The event offers the following distances:
- Marathon

The race is a major fundraising event for Little Havens Children’s Hospice. A HAVENS HEROES race entry includes a £12.50 donation to the hospice. The organiser states that a contribution of this size will pay for about half an hour of essential care at the hospice. On-the-day entry fees (subject to availability) are listed as £50 for the marathon and £35 for the half marathon.
Course and race information
Both courses are road races, described as undulating and running through the tree-lined avenues of Central Park and onto rural country lanes. Both distances are accurately measured and are often used for good-for-age qualification. Pacers are provided for both distances subject to availability. There is a six hour cut off for the event; entrants who expect to take longer are asked to contact the organisers. Route maps and GPX files are available from the organiser.
The event includes a well-appointed event village, bespoke medals, trophies and prizes for leading runners, and marshals to support runners. Central Park is less than half a mile from Chelmsford railway station. Sponsors named include Beaulieu and others. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
