Benfleet 15

Hadleigh, United Kingdom • 19 Jan 2025

The Benfleet 15 is an annual trail race organized by the Benfleet Running Club, celebrating its 34th anniversary in January 2025. This challenging 15-mile multi-terrain course features sections of the 2012 Olympic Mountain Bike course, the Canvey Island sea wall, and the undulating Hadleigh Downs. The event is designed for experienced runners, as it includes muddy and slippery off-road surfaces, making it unsuitable for spikes or wheelchair competitors. Participants will receive a bespoke medal upon finishing, and prizes will be awarded to the top male and female finishers in various age categories.
