Stour Valley Marathon & Half
The Stour Valley Marathon & Half is a scenic running event held in Nayland, Colchester, featuring a marathon and a half marathon on the same day. The marathon covers 27 miles across a mix of tracks, trails, roads, and byways, incorporating parts of the St. Edmunds Way, Stour Valley Path, and Essex Way.
The half marathon follows the first loop of the marathon course. The event emphasizes self-navigation, with participants using GPX files or written instructions, supported by fully stocked aid stations at several points along the route. It is a cupless race, encouraging runners to bring their own cups.
Parking and facilities are available at Nayland Village Hall, the start and finish location. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
