Set your sights on the Debden Airfield for an unforgettable running experience at the Essex 20 alongside the Debden 10k/5k race taking place on Sunday, March 14th, 2027. Nestled within a disused airfield in Debden, this event offers runners of all levels a unique and spacious course that’s both fast and flat.
The route itself is designed to be runner-friendly with no sharp corners or obstacles, making it an ideal choice for those looking to break personal bests or enjoy a low-stress run.

For those looking to make a difference beyond personal achievements, there's an opportunity to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Research UK through this event.
