HARP24 2023!

HARP24 is the 24 hour running festival in South Essex, raising funds to beat homelessness one stride at a time. 

Take on as an ultra-marathon challenge as a solo runner, or with your relay squad of up to 12 friends, and compete from midday on Saturday through to midday on Sunday, with the winners in each category completing the most laps of the scenic five-mile trail course.

As you take on the ultimate running challenge, you'll be helping to support people as they take on the challenge of homelessness. 

Every penny raised at HARP24 funds the life-changing work of HARP, Southend’s homeless charity, who support around 1,000 local people experiencing homelessness every year.
