Event details
The Essex 20 is a 20-mile road race held annually in March. The next scheduled race date is 15/03/2026. The course uses a 5-lap circuit at Debden Airfield, Carver Barracks, Wimbish, Saffron Walden. The surface is tarmac, largely flat with no sharp corners, and surrounding tree cover often reduces wind on the course. The event also incorporates the Inter-counties 20 mile road race championships and the Essex County Road Running Championships.
Entry, eligibility and logistics
The event organiser is ATW. Entry into the county championship element requires an England Athletics affiliation number for the current year and the name of the runner’s England Athletics affiliated club; entries without this information will not be accepted for the county championship. The county championship booking also requires a password provided by the runner’s club or the race organisers. The event lists Alzheimer’s Research UK as a charity partner and offers opportunities to donate and fundraise at checkout. Parking is available at the venue for a £3 fee. ATW’s transfer and refund policy states there are no refunds or name transfers, but entrants may transfer their entry to a future ATW event up to 48 hours before the original event date without providing proof.
