St Helena Hospice Half Marathon 2026

The St Helena Hospice Half Marathon begins at Low Road Recreational Ground in Harwich, Essex, with runners starting at 10:00 AM. The main event is the standard 13.1-mile half marathon, and a 10K race is also available. Both races take place on tarmac roads along a gently rolling course, presenting a challenging but direct route. The race supports St Helena Hospice, a Colchester charity providing palliative and end-of-life care for individuals in north east Essex. The hospice extends its support to families, friends, carers, and those experiencing bereavement. The inaugural half marathon was established to commemorate 40 years of hospice services in the community, and participation is capped.
