From Mountnessing, traffic may continue along the route to the mini roundabout at 6.3 miles (Rayleigh Road).

From 6.3 miles, the runners go left along Rayleigh Road. Traffic can either, support runners to Hutton Lane at 7 miles (you have to come back on yourself to 6.3 miles), or, from 6.3 miles, go right onto Rayleigh Road and after 0.3 miles, turn left at mini roundabout into Hanging Hill Lane. Follow road for 2 miles to A128. Turn right, then immediately left into The Avenue. A mile later on the left is the entrance to Thorndon Park (it’s a very sharp right, and partly obscured – if you reach a crossroads, you have gone too far).
