St Helena Hospice Half Marathon and 10k
The St Helena Hospice event in Harwich, Essex, offers a half marathon and a new 10k route on 04 October 2026. The race base is Low Road Recreational Ground, Harwich CO12 3TA, with Race HQ located near the Low Road grass car park outside Dovercourt Bay Lifestyles.
The course uses tarmac surfaces and is described as undulating, with sections that provide sea views from the promenade. Detailed route maps and GPX files are available for download.
The event supports St Helena Hospice, a Colchester based charity that provides palliative and end of life care in north east Essex and offers bereavement support. A HEROES ticket option includes a donation that contributes to specific support services: for the half marathon, funding can cover half an hour of assistance from a family support worker; for the 10k, funding can cover a 30 minute advice and support session with a counsellor.
The event lists an event village and mentions chip timing and a bespoke medal for participants. Entry is open to those aged 17 and over on 04 October 2026. Parking is noted at Harwich & Dovercourt High School and at Mayflower Primary School near the race area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
