We are delighted to confirm that we are rescheduling our spring half marathon, disappointingly cancelled due to bad weather to late September.
The perfect half marathon in rural Suffolk countryside is hosted by Stowmarket Striders Running Club and held in memory of Joe Cox and is kindly sponsored by local business Tomlinson Groundcare.
Chip Timed and held under UKA rules.
The Half Marathon race is open to all entrants aged 17 years or older on race day with a course suitable for racing wheelchairs. The route takes in some of Suffolk’s quietest rural country roads through undulating scenic countryside.
The Saxmundham Running & Fitness Club (The Saxons) are pleased to be hosting a 5 mile race for ages 15 and over. The race is a Multi Terrain run on Playing Field, Footpaths & Off Road, ideal Pre Cross Country Season race.
This year will be the 10th Saxon’s 5 Mile Race!

There will be winner’s prizes and a race memento for every finisher. New for this year – Chip Timing!
There will also be a Junior Fun Run which starts at 10am and takes place around the field at Carlton Park before the main race begins. It’s just £2 to enter the Junior Fun Run and you can only enter on the day, registration closes at 9.45am. Approx 1K for children aged 8 and under. Approx 2K for children aged 9 to 14.

Following yet another fantastic year the Benfleet 15 returns for a 29th time year in 2019. In 2018 the race sold out in record time and attracted over 650 runners who tackled the challenging route.
Using a challenging multi terrain single lap course starting in Hadleigh Country Park, the route takes runners through the undulating Hadleigh Downs, along sections of the Benfleet and Canvey Island Sea Wall before finishing back at the Country Park.
There will be medals and t-shirts on offer for all finishers.
The race is organised by Benfleet Running Club with chip timing services provided by Nice Work.
In addition to the main 15 mile race there is also a 1 mile family fun run open to all ages starting at 9.45 am, with entries taken on the day (all children under the age of ten need to be accompanied by an adult.)
The race attracts a large field and will sell out, so an early entry is advised. Runner’s must not run under someone elses name, anyone spotted will be disqualified.
