This is a hilly, measured course on country roads. It follows an out and back route from Hitchin up to Preston via Offley Holes hill.

This beautiful but tough 10k starts in Hitchin Priory and follows the half marathon course up to Preston, with the hill into Preston the biggest challenge to overcome! This race was added to the Hard Half in 2015 for runners looking to enjoy a challenging 10k run.

This beautiful 5k starts in Hitchin Priory and follows the half marathon course for some of its distance. It's a more gentle route and gives you the chance to enjoy a good run through some of the most attractive parts of Hitchin and Gosmore.

Back for it's second year, the London Landmarks Half Marathon is a closed road, flat, central London run and is the only half marathon to go through both the City of London and City of Westminster.

Limited to 1500 participants, start your summer, and enjoy the best of Windsor, Boveney Lock, Bray, Dorney, Maidenhead and Eton.

We hope that our onsite facilities, commentary and music provide plenty to keep other halves and little ones entertained, ensuring a day out for all the family while you run.

Our waved-start format creates a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, limiting any participant congestion along the route. As this is a trail run it does not have a certified distance, but is still accurately measured the same as all of our other events.
