Hitchin 10K

The Hitchin 10km is a unique running event held in Hitchin, featuring a scenic course that starts and finishes in the historic town's market square. The race includes a north loop through closed town roads, followed by a south loop passing through the villages of Gosmore and Charlton, before returning to the town centre for the finish. The mostly flat course has one small climb and combines urban and countryside running on mostly quiet roads.

The event also hosts the Herts County Senior Championships and offers a junior "Golden Mile" race for younger runners. Participants receive timing chips, race numbers, and medals, with prizes awarded across various categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
