The parkrun starts on the top promenade to the north of the Greensward Cafe Adventure Golf on Marine Parade West. We head initially in a southerly direction bearing left after the Greensward Cafe, then on the flat lower promenade in the direction of Clacton Pier. Just before the Pier, proceed left up the incline until reaching the top promenade. At the top of the slope, turn left and proceed along the top promenade, down the gentle decline back the starting point. This completes the first lap. Laps one, two and three are identical, on completing the third lap participants should proceed past the starting point, and bear left towards the Greensward - then turn left past the cone onto the grass. Proceed towards the finish funnel which is located directly ahead, across the slightly undulating grass section.
