Route information

Take on these challenging races this June, choosing from a half marathon or 10k distance. Set in the historic market town of Hitchin in North Hertfordshire, the event also has a kids' race, making it the perfect day out for the whole family.

The Hitchin Half Marathon is a challenging, hilly course designed to push you to your limits. From the moment you leave the grounds of the Priory, you head out into Charlton village and then you encounter the first climb going up into Preston.

Then you will head around the local area before returning back towards Charlton and then finally back into Hitchin to finish off at the Priory. The course is hilly and undulating but does have some flat areas too, especially on the way back towards Hitchin after around 11 miles.

Age Requirements

Entrants must be 17 and older to enter the Half Marathon and 16 and older for the 10 miler.

For the kids' race, there are no age restrictions.

Race Rules

Finishing the race, gun times will determine the overall race positions as it is a race, so chip timing will NOT be used to determine race positions.

For prizes, the event follows UKA rules on age groupings. If any of the overall winners such as first-placed male or female are of a certain age grouping, then the next-placed age group person shall inherit the age group winner's spot, and this will cascade down if any or all podium-placed winners are of the same age group.
