Clacton 10k

The Clacton 10k starts and finishes on the Greensward, a large green area overlooking the seafront opposite Fourth Avenue in Clacton-on-Sea. The course follows a single lap of both the upper and lower promenades along Clacton seafront, giving runners two different perspectives of the coastline. The route is accurately measured and classed as flat, with one gentle incline and one decline where the course drops down to, and climbs back up from, the lower promenade. The surface is tarmac and concrete throughout, suitable for standard road shoes. Runners pass close to holidaymakers and day trippers along the prom, adding to the lively seafront atmosphere. Held as part of the Clacton Carnival, the race suits both first-timers looking to complete their first event and experienced runners chasing a personal best, with water stations positioned along the route and at the finish.
