For those driving to the half marathon there is ample FREE parking onsite. Access is via Blackgate Road, Shoeburyness SS3 9SR. As there is only one road into the venue please be patient as there may be some congestion. If you are being dropped off by car please follow the signage to the drop off zone.

If you are travelling by train, the nearest station is C2C Shoeburyness which is just a 3 minute walk from the start line. Please be aware there are alterations to the timetables on the C2C line from London Fenchurch Street. Please check before you travel.

Today we’ve taken delivery of the bespoke Southend Half Marathon medals. You’ll have to take part on 9th July to see them though.

Running numbers are starting to be sent out from today in batches. All running numbers will be posted by the end of June.
