Together with our partners Phoenix Striders Walking and Running Club (www.phoenixstriders.org.uk), we Essex Wildlife Trust, are staging 3 events around the beautiful park, including the newly acquired lake to allow all the participants to have a glimpse of the scenery around the reserve.

Starting at 10am, the 10k will take in a run to the lake, 2 laps of the lake and then returning on a slightly different route giving great views of the Thames estuary (usually with the wind at your back). All entrants will receive a bespoke medal and a chance to purchase our 2023 Anniversary event t-shirt (£2). Trophies will be given to 1st male and female overall and 1st male and female veteran (aged 40+) minimum age 16.

Starting at 10:10am, the 5k will run out to the edge of the lake, make a small loop and then return on the same route as the 10k. All entrants will receive a bespoke medal and the chance to purchase our 2023 Anniversary event t-shirt (£2). Trophies will be awarded to the 1st male and female and 1st male and female U16 (minimum age 12)

The Tinies Toddle at 11.30am is 2 loops of the track round the centre which can be viewed from the roof and is about 1k in distance. This is an untimed fun event for all the family to accompany their tinies. All the Tinies taking part will receive a brightly coloured engraved event medal. There will also be entries on the day for the Tinies Toddle.

There are no changing facilties at the Centre, but there are toilets inside.
