Around 3,000 people will lace up their running shoes for the 2025 Chelmsford Half Marathon event next month.
The event takes place on Sunday, 2 March and runners will start and finish the 13.1-mile course at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), which is the headline partner of the event. There are also 5km and 10km events on the same day.
The half-marathon course will take runners along Parkway and Essex Yeomanry Way to Great Baddow and Sandon, before returning through Chelmer Village and back into the city centre. All race distances are accurately measured and officially licensed by England Athletics Run Events.
Road closures will be in place before, during and after the event. These include High Bridge Road, Essex Yeomanry Way, Chelmer Village Way and Bishop Hall Lane. The Essex Highways website has full details of road closures and times.
