Clacton Seafront parkrun [] parkrun Tourism [] Full course POV [] Beautiful Essex coast running

Last weekend saw us in Essex. As we have not run at Clacton Seafront parkrun before we decided to take a trip down to the coast. This 3-lap course offers many interesting features as well as beautiful sea views.
We filmed the whole course on a point of view Insta 360 3, and included information about the things you can see en route.

282 different parkrun venues is an awesome achievement. Those 4 different gardens on the top promenade look beautiful! Great delve into your ancestry there John, really interesting. Never been to Clacton so must go now, you've inspired me👏👏👏

It's a really lovely course. Many other nice parkruns in Essex, too. You'll have to keep going back like we do. 😅

It's a lovely Parkrun and good to see you there. Harwich is also a beautiful Parkrun and Mersea Island. Coming from Essex, it's great to see all the beautiful places we have.

[@tworunningbrooms]

We did Mersea Island last year, so Harwich is probably next on the to-do list. 🙂

Clacton was my go to seaside resort when I was a kid in the 70's, a short hop out of London

[@tworunningbrooms]

Good memories, then. 🙂

Just love the Essex coast. So much variation. I am so lucky to live within easy reach of it. Nice video but I still can't believe that you would do a park run the day before taking on a full marathon, even if you were taking it easy. Did you ever check out Brooms Farm in Marks Tey when you were looking for ancestors in this lovely county? I did send a link but it may have been blocked.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Running a few miles easy the day before a marathon isn't unusual and something we always do as do many other folk. 🙂
I'll look up the farm, thanks!

Really like this video, looks like one of the best parks runs you’ve filmed yet, fresh air beautiful seaside views & a sense of Freedom, cool ✅👊🏼👣🥳🌲🏃🏽‍♂️✌️

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes, it certainly was one that was good to visit! 👍

@@tworunningbrooms Looking forward to visiting the parkrun at Clacton tomorrow (it’s where the Pet Shop Boys made some of their film years ago). Cheers for uploading.

[@DanniiAndStuRunningAdventures]

That was a fantastic video. The quality, wow! You've got me looking into insta 360s now 😂

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes we've really enjoyed doing these POV parkruns.

[@RunSensible]

282 different courses. Jeez, I think I've done 2 different courses.
Great running guys, well done.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks Neil. I think we've done one of your two courses. Malahide. We've also done St Anne's in Dublin when we took a day trip to Glasnevin Cemetery.

[@RunSensible]

@@tworunningbrooms both Malahide and St. Anne's are beautiful parks. I run in Malahide park for 90% of my running and I ran through St Anne's park today.

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

You two get about a bit. Fair play 👌

[@tworunningbrooms]

Doing the parkrun 400 yards from our front door tomorrow for a change 😀

[@Runningonthemind]

That’s incredible to have done that much tourism and park runs. Have you guys done Horsham yet?

[@tworunningbrooms]

Not yet. I think Tilgate is the only Sussex one we have done.

[@garylq]

Looks wonderful. Reminds me how lucky I am to live and run in a similar seaside town.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes, you are. 🙂
