Don't fancy a weekend sitting indoors?

Here's a list of events in Colchester you can get involved in to stay fit and active!

Gazette:

Bourne Mill Circular Walk

This circular three-mile walk takes you through some of Colchester's country nooks, visiting the River Colne, Bourne Valley, Cannock Mill, Distillery Pond and Almshouses in Winsley Square, before visiting the streets and pubs that were built in the mid to late 19th century.

The easy three-mile walk takes about an hour and 15 minutes to complete, and is a great way to spend a sunny morning. 

For more information on the route visit www.nationaltrust.org.u and search for Bourne Mill Trails. 

Mersea Island Park Run 

This is a 5km run and it's you against the clock.

The run takes place every Saturday at 9am, at Cudmore Grove in East Mersea. 

It's free to join in but you must register if you have not taken part before. Don't forget to bring a printed copy of your barcode so you can get a running time.
