The around Canvey Island Trail Run
This is a timed, self-supported anti-clockwise loop around Canvey Island that starts and finishes at Waterside Farm Leisure Centre. It is a relaxed run with a "check pint" at the pub stop 10k in! Check in with one of our timers, grab a drink (on us) and refill your water bottles too. This is more of an adventure than a race, so don't rush out the door. There is a 4 hour cut off.
The vast majority of the course is along the sea wall, mixing in single track grass paths and then wider concrete and gravel trails around the island on the King Charles 3rd England Coast Path. You have the option in one section, should the weather and tides allow, to run the lower promenade and see the local art work on display. There is no penalty or using either the upper or lower section.
Registration starts at 11:10 hours where you can collect your race numbers, pins and a bottle of water. The run starts at 12:00 hours. Participants must use traffic lights and crossing points in the first and last km or face disqualification.
