Leigh on Sea Striders 10 km

13/09/2025

ITS TIME TO SIGN UP FOR THIS YEARS LEIGH ON SEA 10k! 👻

Sunday 2nd November @ 6pm

Following the success of last year, there’s also a 5k option with the inclusion of a Junior 11-15 entry for the 5k (with an adult 5k entrant).

Starting at 6pm headtorches are a must and, with our usual Halloween theme, spooky costumes are encouraged – you might even win the spot prize for the best fancy dress! 🎃

We remain one of the best value races around with the entry fee held at £20 for UKA affiliated or £22 unaffiliated, and this year a reduced £12/£14 respectively for the 5k distance and £6/£8 for Junior 11-15 year old entrants. With our interesting course, “enough marshals to ward off a hoard of vampyres”, and let’s not forget the Prosecco & Pizza at the finish to reward and celebrate your run, our race has become a firm favourite in the local calendar🥂

The Leigh 10k is a not-for-profit event with all proceeds going to our charity partners – this year we are supporting Southend YMCA and their invaluable work with local children, young people and families.

Leigh 10k - Charity TOTAL -

Throughout the years at Leigh 10k race HQ we have been astonished with many things, (tales for after a couple of glasses of fizz mostly) but none more so than recently when we were finally able to tally up the ‘profits’ from last year’s 15th anniversary event. As you know, every spare penny fr...
