Chelmsford Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool conditions, wind adjustments needed
Runners will face a temperature range from 49°F to 59°F, with humidity at 71%. Wind will be a factor, starting as a headwind in miles 1-4 and again in miles 7-10, so pacing adjustments will be crucial early on. A tailwind will assist in miles 13-14 and 21-27, providing opportunities for faster splits. Hydration should be prioritized given the humidity, especially in the later miles.

Race Info
The Chelmsford Marathon is a single-lap road race that starts and finishes in Central Park, Chelmsford, Essex, running through the park's tree-lined avenues and out into the surrounding Essex countryside. A half marathon runs an out-and-back course on the same morning, starting half an hour after the marathon's 9:00 AM gun. The race has run each October since at least 2016 and raises funds for Little Havens Children's Hospice.
