A superb coastal half marathon, starting and finishing in Shoeburyness, taking full advantage of the flat terrain of the Essex Coastline. Highly regarded for the potential for fast times, over a fully marshalled course, with plenty of water stations (with welcome wet sponges) to keep you hydrated, every step of the way. Suitable for experienced runners, who look to post a fast time, whilst also offering a superb entry point for newer runners, who want to enjoy a scenic route on a flat course.
Enjoy sea views along the route, which skirts the Essex coastline.
Ideal for PB hunters and novices alike.
Benefit from a fully traffic-free route, which is fully marshalled.
Fundraise to support the superb work of Havens Hospices.
Celebrate your achievement with a bespoke medal at the finish.

Second time and Southend, and will be back next year. Well organised, lovely route and unique medal too. Nice and flat which is a bonus and was very warm too. | Mike
The Southend Half gets better every year with the numbers of runners growing every year. Havens Hospice do a fantastic job putting on this event and I would recommend anyone looking for a PB or just a great Half to register and come along and run this race. The registration process is easy, it's not that expensive, the organisation is great and the course is cool running along the seafront. Local support is fantastic. Overall this is one of my favourite halfs of the year! I will be back next year! | Chris
Brilliant for spectators.. saw mine 5 times on the course. The water stations are plentiful and the wet sponges are a nice touch. Just missed my PB by 8 seconds so this course has the potential to crush those times. I will be back. | Gemma
