High Easter 10k
The High Easter 10k is a road race held in the village of High Easter, Essex. The course is a single loop on quiet country lanes, mainly tarmac, described as fast and flat with a road closure at the start. The route starts and finishes in the village and route maps, including GPX files, are available.
The event forms part of the Essex County 10k Championships. To be eligible for the county championships entrants must have a current England Athletics affiliation and a valid URN, be born in Essex or resident in the county for over nine months, and must not have taken part in another county championship (other than Essex) in the same calendar year. It is also possible to enter the race without taking part in the championships.
Charitable activity is part of the event; donations collected at entry are split between St Mary’s Church High Easter, Monday Muster community exercise classes, and Braintree Food Bank. All finishers receive a technical t-shirt. A cash prize of £100 is offered to the leading male and female runners who beat the course records (men 30:40, women 33:49).
Practical details listed for past events include the Village Hall race HQ at The Street, High Easter, off-street parking close to the village hall, and on-site refreshments. Participant feedback has highlighted strong local support and good facilities, while some have reported that the on-course water station has run out at times.
