The race is hugely popular among runners, and comes highly recommended for its great course, great atmosphere, enthusiastic marshals, the event village and being well organised.
It is a major fundraising event for Havens Hospices. Entries will help support this remarkable charity and provide palliative nursing and supportive care to children, young people and adults living with complex or incurable conditions in Essex.
