Finish Line Frolic
Finish Line Frolic is a charity trail running event held at Belchamps Camp, Holyoak Lane, Hockley SS5 4JD. The event supports the Finish Line Fund, established in 2014 and registered in 2018 (charity number 1179170). The charity provides grants to runners and families affected by serious injury, disability or death while running, and promotes amateur running and sport in Southend-on-Sea and surrounding areas by organising events and providing equipment and sponsorship.
The course is a traffic-free, looped trail of a shade over 5 km per lap. Participants may run as many or as few laps as they wish within a six hour time limit. Four laps cover approximately a half marathon and eight laps cover approximately a full marathon.

- Half marathon (about 4 laps)

An aid station is available at the end of every lap. Participants may leave a bag at the aid station and use provided snacks such as flapjacks, fruit and nuts, plus water and squash. The event operates a cupless policy to reduce race-day plastic waste, so participants must bring their own receptacle; a Hydrapak Speedcup can be purchased as part of registration or on race day. The event offers a bespoke medal, is UKA affiliated with a TRA race permit, and is a 100 Club qualifying event.
There is ample on-site parking and toilets in Belchamps Park. Sat nav users should avoid Mount Bovers Lane and follow the sign off Main Road into Poplars Avenue, then Woodside Chase and Holyoak Lane.
