Event overview
The ATW Welwyn event is held at Gosling Sports Park, Stanborough Road, Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. The main races start and finish on the 400 m athletics track. The half marathon route leaves the stadium, runs through the outskirts of Welwyn, follows the Cole Green Way - a traffic-free former railway path - includes a short loop, then returns along the Cole Green Way and finishes with a lap of the track. The 10k shares the same opening 5 km as the half marathon, then follows a separate loop back to the stadium. The event is licensed by UK Athletics and chip-timed by Event Chip Timing. A three-hour cut-off time applies; after this, marshals and signage are no longer available.
