About the LoSS 10K

First run on the 27th September 2009 and open to a limited field of 350 participants, the Leigh on Sea 10K is now a regular fixture in the racing calendar every autumn.

Such is the popularity of this event we are proud to say that since this first event in 2009 the field size has almost doubled in size. This year we are accepting 650 entrants as we have also sold out well in advance of the race date every year.

2013 also saw the Leigh 10K awarded the Howard Williams Trophy for the best road race in Essex. We are really proud of this achievement as it is voted for by you ... the runners who take part.

The main objective of this event always has been, and still is to raise money for local charities. Since the inaugural event in 2009 we have managed to donate almost £10,000 to organisations such as Essex Air Ambulance, St Johns Ambulance, The 2Simple Trust, and Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation. This is something we look forward to continuing this year with our support going to The Lady McAdden Breast Screening Unit based at Southend Hospital.
