South Woodham Runners are proud to announce our 2026 10k - Entry is open 

We are happy once again to host our 10k and we welcome all runners to come and visit to see what a beautiful hidden little gem of a course we have.

Course: 

Run over an extended parkrun course this wonderful route takes you through the beautiful countryside and farmland of Southern Essex and along the route of the River Crouch. The event location is CM3 5WP.

It is an interesting course with a few short level changes and surface in many locations. We will also have a water station which is accessible from two points on the course.

Race Licence No 29855  on RunEvents

Start time 10am

Parking will be in the overflow carpark at Marsh Farm which will be well signposted. Please DO NOT park at the car park at the wateredge.

Numbers can be picked up on the day from 8am.

There is a bag drop and multiple toilet facilities.

Medals and prizes will be issued on the day.

Be quick: This is the fourth year of this event and we received a really good response last time so we have increased the field to 400, so get in early to avoid disappointment.

In addition to our magnificent medals there will be trophies for the first three men and women across the line.
