Course, rules and logistics
Most of the course runs along the sea wall, mixing concrete and trails on the King Charles 3rd England Coast Path. There is a pub check-in point about 10k into the route where runners can check in with a timer, get a drink and refill water bottles. Runners were required to use the traffic lights and designated crossing points in the first and last kilometre or face disqualification. A team of tail walkers/joggers acted as relay support so participants were not the last on the results sheet.
Race numbers, pins and a bottle of water were collected at registration. Participants were advised to download the GPX route and follow it on Strava or print the race narrative and map. Lockers were available but the organiser did not accept responsibility for lost or stolen items. Parking was free at the venue; Benfleet Railway Station is about an 18 minute brisk walk away, shorter if arriving by bicycle. Recommended kit included a mobile phone, layers and a lightweight running jacket. Entry prices changed over time: £23.67, then £27.50, and later £30.00; a service fee of 4% (minimum 50p) applied.
