Sign up for the iconic race!
Voted one of the top 30 races in the country thanks to its beautiful course and community spirit, the Herts 10K returns to Harpenden, Herts, this year on Sunday 8 October 2023.
The 18th race is set to be another fantastic day as runners of all abilities set off on the scenic multi-terrain course that winds its way through the stunning Hertfordshire countryside, starting and finishing at Rothamsted Research.
There are three categories, male, female and a junior category for 15-17 year olds.
All runners receive a t-shirt and finisher’s medal.
Running the Herts 10K is a family affair
The Newton family, grandad Ray, son Mark and grandson Luke, have taken part in almost every Herts 10K race since they began. Luke, the youngest member of the family took part in his first Herts 10K in 2018.
Mark Newton tells us why he loves the race, “Twenty years ago there weren’t the running events you have nowadays, so the Herts 10K was a perfect opportunity to race and be a part of something in my home town where I grew up and especially for such a great cause. I love running the route, around the areas I know well, especially past my old school Roundwood Park and the Nicky line, back to Rothamsted.
“It’s always a great atmosphere, rain or shine. It’s a beautiful setting in a lovely town. For experienced runners, it’s competitive and a tough course but always well-supported and organised. For those running for a bit of fun or to raise money for such a great cause, it will be an enjoyable and safe experience.”
