Tiptree 10 mile 2026

The Tiptree 10 is a chip-timed 10-mile road race starting at Leisure World Tiptree on Maypole Road, near Colchester in Essex. It takes place on quiet rural roads through the Essex countryside, following a measured course certified by the South of England Athletic Association. Tiptree Road Runners organize and marshal the race with their own members, operating under UK Athletics rules. The race is suitable for club runners aiming for a fast 10-mile time, though the organisers also welcome runners of any ability or club affiliation. Proceeds from the event benefit local and national charities. The competition includes county championship medals for EA athletes, awards for the top three in senior and five-year veteran age categories, and team scoring based on the finishing positions of three club runners.
