Training in Wivenhoe
The river, the trail and a small gym.
Wivenhoe was effectively Colchester's port until the late 19th century, and the river still shapes how people train here. WivGigs Rowing Club rows the Colne estuary, while MicroGym Wivenhoe is the indoor option. Wivenhoe Tennis Club, the town's cricket, football and bowls clubs fill out the list.
The Wivenhoe Trail starts at the station car park and follows the river to Colchester, so it suits cyclists and runners alike. In season, a tide-dependent foot ferry crosses to Rowhedge and Fingringhoe. Riverside routes are better with company: find someone for an early trail run or a crew seat.
