About the Event

C2C Essex Ultra 2026 offers runners an unforgettable journey along the picturesque banks of the River Thames. Participants can choose from three distinct routes: a challenging 50-mile course starting at Upminster station, a scenic 30-mile option beginning in Tilbury, and a shorter yet equally captivating 10-mile route that kicks off in Benfleet.
The event follows the London Loop and England Coast Path National Trails, weaving through diverse landscapes. Runners will traverse urban areas, marshlands, and riverbanks, offering stunning views of Greater London and the eastern stretch of the Thames Estuary. The terrain is primarily tarmac with some sections featuring harder trails that add variety to the run.
As participants navigate this unique route, they'll experience a blend of natural beauty and historical charm, making it an ideal event for both seasoned ultrarunners and those looking to explore new challenges on foot. All registration fees are generously donated to Prostate Cancer UK (22RUNZ00), ensuring that every step taken contributes positively beyond the race itself.
The C2C Essex Ultra 2026 promises a memorable experience, combining scenic beauty with meaningful support for an important cause.
