Brightlingsea Jog Walk Run

CANCELLED! – BRIGHTLINGSEA JOG-WALK-RUN

Sunday 14th September 2025

Very sadly the forecast for this year’s Jog Walk Run includes a potential weather warning, and so in view of the very exposed nature of some parts of the event’s course, the organisers have decided that safety must come first and the race has been cancelled. Those who have entered in advance will be contacted directly by email. If you have any questions please contact Rotary Club Secretary Fiona Brown on fiona.brown@fionabrown.com

Brightlingsea & District Rotary Club is proud to organise the Brightlingsea Jog-Walk-Run which is held annually in support of Essex & Herts Air Ambulance.

The Jog-Walk-Run starts at 11:00. Registration will open from 10:00 until 10:45 outside All Saints Church and the race will start from just outside the church at the top of Moveron’s Lane, and will follow its traditional course down Moveron’s Lane to Alresford Creek and along the seawall back to Brightlingsea, finishing at the Millennium Gardens just behind Bateman’s Tower.

The course is approximately 4 miles long on a combination of gravel footpaths and country lanes and passes through some spectacular country and riverside scenery. The course is initially gently downhill and then flat making it suitable for all levels of walkers, joggers and runners. Dogs on leads are welcomed, but horses and cycles are not permitted. The course is suitable for sturdy buggies.
