St Helena Hospice Half Marathon and 10k
St Helena Hospice organises a road running event in Harwich, based at Low Road Recreational Ground, Harwich, CO12 3TA. The event offers two race distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10k
The course is on tarmac and described as undulating, with sea views from the promenade. Event facilities include an event village, chip timing for finish times and a bespoke medal for participants. Detailed route maps and GPX files are available for download.
The races raise funds for St Helena Hospice, a Colchester based charity that provides specialist palliative and end of life care in north east Essex and support for people and families dealing with grief. A HEROES race entry option adds a donation: a HEROES half marathon ticket could help cover half an hour of family support worker assistance for a family, while a HEROES 10k ticket could cover a 30 minute advice and support session from a St Helena counsellor.
On-the-day entry fees are listed as £33 for the half marathon and £27 for the 10k, subject to availability. Race headquarters are located close to parking on Low Road Grass Car Park outside Dovercourt bay Lifestyles CO12 3TA. Additional parking is available at Harwich and Dovercourt High School and Mayflower Primary School. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
