We have taken the decision to cancel this event, that was due to go ahead on Thursday 11 June 2026, due to lack of interest. You can still follow the route independently, via our Explore Chelmsford maps. We apologise for any inconvenience.

The Community Sport and Wellbeing team are here to bring you sport and activity all over Chelmsford from Play in the Park to Heart and Sole!

We can support sports clubs and other community organisations to set up new activities and apply for grant funding.

We support a variety of projects and help to sustain community activity.
