Event information

Registration opening soon!

Join us on Sunday 29th March at Colchester Sports Park for a fun-filled day for the whole family! Dress up as your hero and take on our 2km family fun run, or if you're a runner, challenge yourself with a 5km or 10km run – all while supporting St Helena Hospice.

A heroic family adventure! Hero Run is our only event designed just for children and families! A fantastic day out where kids can get active, have fun, and be a hero for their local hospice. Perfect for all ages, Hero Run is a safe, exciting, and inclusive event where little ones aged 4 and over can run, walk, or fly across the finish line.

Who’s your hero? Whether it’s a superhero, a sports star, a doctor, nurse, teacher, or even a family member, this is your chance to celebrate them in style - because not all heroes wear capes!

Take on the 5 or 10km! Whether you're a seasoned runner or looking for a new challenge, the Hero Run offers 5km and 10km routes to test your endurance while supporting a great cause. While the event is not chip timed as it is a fun-run where you set your own pace, feel free to track your run on your favourite running app or device.
