Sporting Events in Colchester

Sport and Leisure

Whether partaking or spectating, Colchester is a great city for sport and leisure activities.

Discover regular, recurring events such as the weekly Park Run in the city's scenic Castle Park, or League 2 football in Colchester United's home at the Jobserve Community Stadium.

For a more unique experience, why not join us for the round-the-island sailing race at Mersea? For those who prefer to keep their feet closer to the ground, you can plan your visit to coincide with one of the more occasional events, such as the yearly half-marathon, the RideLondon event, or even our highly competitive soapbox rally!
