Hemel Hempstead 10k May 2026

Join Us for the Hemel Hempstead 10K on Sunday 17th May 2026

Get ready for the second edition of the Hemel Hempstead 10K, a chip-timed road race through the heart of town! Taking place on Sunday 17th May 2026, this fully road-closed event starts and finishes at the Riverside Shopping Centre, attracting runners of all abilities for a thrilling challenge.

The two-lap, 10K course takes in the pedestrianised areas of Hemel Hempstead town centre, flows through the charming High Street of the Old Town, and winds through scenic Gadebridge Park. With an undulating profile and a supportive event atmosphere, this race is perfect for first-time 10K runners and seasoned racers looking for a new goal.

Each kilometre will be clearly marked with flags, and enthusiastic marshals will be stationed throughout the course to cheer you on to the finish line.

We have been extensively researching what runners consider important, and sustainability is fast becoming the top issue. Click here to see what RunThrough is doing for sustainability.

T-Shirts at events have become a hot topic with concerns around the quality not being high enough to wear on a regular basis. We have decided to tackle this by offering a RunThrough Kit Technical T-Shirt with a retail value of £22 for £12 with the addition of the Hemel Hempstead logo printed on the chest.

We can do this with our partner RT Kit as part of a strategic decision to raise awareness about the quality of the product whilst reducing the overall cost of events for those who would prefer not to have a t-shirt included.
