Saltmarsh Half Marathon 2027

The Saltmarsh Half Marathon begins at Marsh Farm in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex, heading along the River Crouch towards Burnham-on-Crouch. This half marathon primarily uses the Saltmarsh Coast trail pathway, off-road for most of its length. It starts at 9:30am and has a four-hour cut-off, welcoming both runners and walkers. The course is fully marked, and a GPX file will be provided before the event for those seeking additional navigation support. A water station is located at 3.5 miles, with more comprehensive aid stations at 5.5 and 9.8 miles. These stations offer sweet and savoury snacks, including jelly babies, flapjacks, fruit, nuts, Tribe and Chia Charge products, squash, and flat coke. The event is cupless; participants must bring their own flask or reusable cup to minimize plastic waste.
