Race For Life Colchester 2026

Race For Life Colchester is a 5K run taking place in Lower Castle Park, Colchester, Essex. Both the start and finish lines are situated on grass. The race begins at 11:00am and is one of the Race for Life fundraising events dedicated to supporting cancer research. The course primarily follows grass and paths, featuring several inclines instead of a flat road-race profile. Following periods of wet weather, the terrain near the river can become soft and muddy, potentially requiring assistance for wheelchair participants. Participants, whether running or walking, also have the option to use GoFundMe for additional fundraising efforts related to their entry.
