Join us on June 27, 2027, as we celebrate the return of St John's Run! This year’s event offers four race distances—1K, 3K, 5K, and 10K—to cater to a wide range of participants. Whether you're an experienced runner looking for a challenge or someone who wants to enjoy the day with family and friends, there is something for everyone. Last year's inaugural edition was a huge success, and we’re thrilled to introduce a new addition this time around: a 3K distance option that welcomes even more runners of all ages and abilities. Each race will be professionally chip timed, ensuring accurate results and an enjoyable experience from start to finish. The event is held in support of St John's C of E Primary School in Colchester, Essex, providing participants with the opportunity to contribute to a meaningful cause while enjoying a fun day out.
