Essex 20

The Essex 20 is an annual 20-mile running event held each March at Debden Airfield in Essex. The race features a fast, flat, and tarmac 5-lap course on a disused airfield, offering minimal sharp corners and sheltered conditions due to surrounding trees, making it ideal for runners aiming for personal bests or a scenic run with friends. The event also hosts the Inter-counties 20 mile road race championships and the Essex County Road Running Championships, attracting a competitive field.

With ample parking and a supportive atmosphere, the Essex 20 serves as a perfect build-up race for the marathon season. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
