Please note due to phenomenal demand the event is now sold out! We are not operating a waiting list, and the transfer deadline has now passed, so we hope to see you at the 2026 event.

Please be aware that tickets for the Southend Half Marathon were only available directly through Havens Hospices. We do not authorise any third parties to sell tickets on our behalf, and it is strictly against our Terms and Conditions to resell or transfer places.

The event is now sold out, and unfortunately, this may lead to scammers targeting eager runners.

Havens Hospices does not issue QR codes or electronic tickets. If you are presented with one, it is likely to be a scam. All official participants will have received a confirmation email directly from the charity, and your running bib will be sent to you by post.

We accept no responsibility for any purchases not made directly through Havens Hospices. If it’s not from us, it’s not valid.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner, just breaking into the world of half marathons or lacing up your shoes in memory of a loved one, this is the perfect half marathon for you. Last year was a sell out so sign up early to ensure you’ve guaranteed your entry for 2025!

What makes this half marathon truly special is the impact each mile has on the families Havens Hospices cares for. With every step, you contribute to ‘Making every day count’ for people of all ages who are living with incurable conditions and their families.

Your entry fee covers the costs of running the event and this year we are asking participants to become a “Havens Hero” and purchase the Havens Hero entry tickets, which includes the cost of providing half an hour of essential care at the hospice, making a real difference for someone in need.

So, lace up and sign up for a cause that truly matters. The Southend Half Marathon – where your run counts, and every step supports local hospice care.
