Colchester 5k
Colchester 5k is a 5 kilometre running event held on Sunday 19 July 2026 at Lower Castle Park, High Street, Colchester CO1 1XN. The event lists an aggregate price range of £11.00 to £15.99 and a minimum fundraising target of £50.00. The event is for people aged 16 and over.
The start and finish are on a grass field within the main field next to the bowling green. The course is mainly on grass and paths with a few inclines. In wet weather the ground near the river can become soft and muddy so independent wheelchair use on the course may require assistance. Tarmac paths surround the start and finish area.
Travel and local arrangements note that there is no parking at the venue. NCP Colchester High Street public car park is about a five minute walk away. Bus and train services are a short walk from the park. There are no electric charging points and no bike racks listed.
On-site facilities include refreshments and toilets. Dogs are allowed and the venue is described as suitable for pushchairs. Event accessibility provisions include sunflower wristbands at the enquiries marquee, Event Managers trained as Dementia Friends, and a QR code on site to access British Sign Language stage content.
Participants are listed as receiving event materials such as a fundraising pack, a customisable back sign, training plans, community access and a finishers medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
