The Rochford Half Marathon – New for 2026
Get ready to take on 13.1 miles of scenic countryside through some of the most picturesque parts of Essex. The Rochford Half Marathon is a brand-new event for 2026, starting and finishing in the historic heart of Rochford Square, before leading runners on a beautiful rural route through the surrounding villages of Great Stambridge, Canewdon and back to Rochford.
This is more than just another half marathon — it’s a celebration of community, countryside, and commitment. Whether you’re sharpening up for a spring marathon, chasing a new PB, or taking on your very first half, this course offers the perfect mix of fast flats, gentle undulations, and open-road rhythm.
