ROADRUNNERS will take in the scenic Essex countryside side when they pound the pavements as part of a yearly and “famous” race.

The Tiptree 10 will take place at 10.30am on October 9, starting at the Thurstable School, in Colchester.

The event, fully marshalled by members of Tiptree Road Runners, consists of a 10-mile run over a predominantly flat course.

Prizes will be awarded to male and female participants who finish in one of the top three positions, as well as to certain age groups and team.

The cost to enter ranges from £19 to £21.
