We’ll be back again this year participating in one of our favorite events, the Essex Way Relay. Held om the first Sunday of September, the rave splits the infamous Essex way into 10 stages, with participants setting off in staged waves.
Get in touch with our Head Coach or Club Captains if you’d like to join in the fun.
This race covers the 82 miles of the Essex way from Epping Station to Harwich Old Lighthouse in 10 stages. The route is mostly cross country and can be difficult through crops and across ploughed fields. Nevertheless it is a very enjoyable day out in the most attractive rural parts of Essex (with an excellent fish and chip shop and pubs waiting for you at Harwich). The course is NOT marked and it is essential for all competitors to have reconnoitred their section before the day to avoid getting lost.
