» Marathon raises £3,000 for charity |

Three local charities have benefited from monies raised at the Halstead & Essex Marathon.
Halstead Day Centre, the League of Friends of Halstead Hospital and Essex Air Ambulance have each received £1,000.
The Halstead & Essex Marathon is the only surviving annual marathon in Essex and is organised by Halstead Road Runners. The race is ranked in the top-ten amongst all races in the UK by readers of Runners World magazine.
Hundreds turned out to watch this year’s race on a glorious sunny day in May. Local residents did their bit once again - out with their hose pipes to cool the runners! The event continues to grow in size and reputation with 599 entrants this year, up by over a third on last year. This has helped double the money raised for charities compared to last year.
Having supported Colchester cancer unit for four years, the club membership voted on who they would like to support for 2008 and there were three clear favourites.
“Our beneficiaries all did their bit to help us” said Nathan Roulson, Race Director “each of them providing volunteers on the day. As a small club, our biggest challenge is always manpower, but this was made easier by our charities helping with marshalling or providing refreshments at Race HQ”.
Nathan said “We must thank our sponsors for their contribution to the fantastic sum of money raised: Advance Performance, Asics, The Bird In Hand, Coop, The Dog Inn, Eat Natural, For Goodness Shakes!, Halstead & Haverhill Physiotherapy Clinic, Halstead Town Council, Halstead Tyre & Exhaust Centre, Jointace, Lambert Chapman, Munchy Seeds, Richard Edwards & Co, Runnersworld Chelmsford, Scott Maddison and Spice Zone”.
The 15th Halstead & Essex Marathon will be on 10th May 2009 starting at Halstead Leisure Centre (further info: www.HalsteadAndEssexMarathon.co.uk)

Halstead Road Runner Bob Parmenter did the Steppingley Step, off road marathon, at Barton le Clay. Weather was mostly dry and sunny, if a bit blustery, with about 20 minutes rain during the event. On a fairly undulating course made very difficult by the very wet / boggy underfoot conditions Bob finished in 5hrs 46mins.
Halstead entered 8 members and 2 guests in the Stebbing 10 mile road race hosted by Grange Farm and Dunmow runners. The course was undulating. The weather was fine with a chilly wind.
