About the race
Southend Pier Marathon takes place in Southend-on-Sea on the world’s longest pleasure pier. The event is described as a full marathon run on the sea, with the pier measuring about 1.34 miles and runners completing multiple laps to reach marathon distance on an open pier. The race is limited to 100 participants and features a unique medal.
Weather plays a crucial role, as the course is exposed to British conditions, and there is no cancellation insurance if conditions are too rough. Entry fees are £46 for attached and £48 for unattached entries. Organised by Sussex Trail Events, it offers coastal endurance appeal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
