Event overview

2026 will be the inaugural Matching 10K Run. The route takes runners through the beautiful rural landscapes of west Essex and East Hertfordshire communities. It will be a truly unique experience, as this route can only be accessed on this one day. Part of the run is on private land that will be opened exclusively for this race event! With 500 participants on the day, and expected additional spectator numbers in the region of 1,500, the run synergises with the annual Matching Green May Day event on Matching Green. We would like to thank all our Sponsors for their generosity and also to The Community Fund from Epping Forest District Council administered by Qualis for their Grant Award.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
