Hitchin Half Marathon & Tough 10 Miler

The Hitchin Half Marathon, Tough 10 Miler, and Fierce 5 Miler are annual running events held in early June in Hitchin, starting and finishing at the historic Hitchin Priory. The half marathon features a challenging, hilly, and undulating out-and-back course through the Chiltern countryside, including Preston village and Offley Holes Hill, with five water stations and full marshaling. The Tough 10 Miler and Fierce 5 Miler offer shorter distance options.

The event includes electronic timing, race medals, a race village with food and merchandise, music, and medical support. It is recognized as one of the UK's top half marathons by Runner's World. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
