ENTRIES for a popular fundraising race have now opened for certain groups.

The Colchester Half Marathon has not been run since 2019 due to the pandemic.

It was hoped it would be held on Sunday, April 3, 2022 but was postponed again and will now be run on May 22 next year.

But entries for those who originally entered for the half marathon in 2020 have been given priority to enter for the competition. Others can enter in the new year.
