The ever popular Wheathampstead 10K run will be taking place on Sunday 17th May 2026, starting and finishing on the Marford Road Playing Fields. This annual event has become a favourite amongst local runners and even sees competitors from much further afield coming to the village, encouraged by reports of a run with a local feel that takes in some beautiful countryside. The 2K Family Fun Run starts at 10.00am from the Marford Road Playing Fields. This is an off road, circular run on good footpaths. It is ideal for families and for a pre-10K warm up, suitable for both runners and walkers of ALL ages. The 10K race starts on Marford Road Playing Fields at 11.00am and is chip-timed mat to mat. The 10K is a challenging off-road course, and with its outstanding scenery and friendly village setting this is a popular run with all levels of runners.
