3K RACES - REPORTS ON PAST EVENTS
Overview
Our Skylarks 3K Races have been organised by the Pitsea Running Club on Wednesday evenings twice a year, in April and July, from July 2010 to July 2019. Unfortunately, both the events in both 2020 and 2021 fell victims to the Pandemic, and by 2022 Pitsea Running Club was unable to lead the organistion of the events. At the time of writing, an alternative partner club is being sought such that these races can be rekindled.Skylarks 3K Run - Wednesday 17th July 2019

Our July Race, held on Wednesday 15 July 2015, was once again very popular. These races through our delightful Country Park are organised at the Park by members of the Pitsea Running Club. All proceeds after expenses go towards the further development of the Park. Many - but by no means all - of the entrants come from local Running Clubs / Groups, but we also see a significant number of 'unattached' runners, and this time we also had five power walkers.The full results can be viewed here, and a photo story can be viewed here. A report on the race is available in issue number 46 of our Skylarks Newsletter. Including the five walkers, there were 80 entries, which is three more than the previous record number.
