In Support of Garden House Hospice Care

The Hertfordshire Half Marathon & 10K in support of Garden House Hospice returns for 2026, and registration is now OPEN! Taking place on Sunday 1st November, this exciting event is set in beautiful Old Knebworth, offering runners of all abilities a memorable race experience.

Both races feature undulating, scenic road routes through the picturesque Hertfordshire countryside. Whether you're tackling the Half Marathon or the 10K, you'll enjoy a welcoming race-day atmosphere, excellent support from marshals, and clear route markings. It's the perfect autumn challenge for seasoned runners aiming for a new PB or first-timers stepping up their distance.

We’re delighted to have Garden House Hospice as our Charity of the Year in 2026. Garden House Hospice Care provides free specialist palliative care for patients, families and carers facing life limiting illnesses from across North Hertfordshire, Stevenage and towns and villages in Central Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
