These events are open to all, including children and young adults, but children should be accompanied - even if as a spectator - by a responsible adult. In the past dogs on leads with their handlers have joined in! The events are arranged in conjunction with the Pitsea Running Club, and they attract many runners from local Running Clubs, though many competitors are not members of any Running Club. The event is held under UK Athletics rules. The course takes competitors around almost all of the main paths in the Park, enabling them to soak up the peace and ambience, even those who finish some way down the ranking list!
