Hemel Hempstead 10K & 5K : May 23 2027
This town-centre running event stages chip timed races over 5K and 10K on fully road closed routes starting and finishing at Riverside Shopping Centre in Hemel Hempstead (HP1 1BT). The event is the third edition and uses undulating tarmac paths that pass through the pedestrianised town centre and the High Street.
Included with entry are a unique themed medal, free race photos, post race goodies, chip timed results and a bag drop with a secure marquee. Water is provided at about 2 km for both races and at the 7 km point for the 10K. There is a 90 minute cut off due to road closures and the minimum age for entry is 15 years.
The event supports the charity DENS, which houses, supports and empowers vulnerable single homeless people and others in crisis. Buggy runners and wheelchair athletes are welcome but participants should be mindful of other runners when overtaking. Dogs are not allowed for runners or spectators.
Practical notes include that event parking is not provided but there are paid car parks nearby and the nearest train station is Hemel Hempstead, approximately a 20 minute walk to the start. An event village and on-course team provide guidance and finish-line refreshments and amenities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
