Letchworth 5K - Letchworth Garden City
Letchworth 5K takes place on 20 September 2026 in Letchworth Garden City town centre. The event includes a 5 km race, a 1 mile race and a Fun Run. All races start and finish in Leys Square and the public roads on the course are closed for the event.
Race numbers and timing chips are issued from Cultivo Lounge on Leys Avenue. A baggage handling facility is provided at the start and finish area; items are stored at the owner’s risk. There are no formal changing facilities on site. Public toilets are available in the town centre and local cafes will be open.
The organisers encourage low-impact practices: cups are compostable or reusable, paper and cardboard are recycled, race numbers are reused and medals are sourced sustainably. Pre- and post-race refreshments are available at the start and finish location.
Safety information: first aid trained marshals will be present. Participants are asked not to wear headphones so they can hear marshal instructions. Children under 11 must be accompanied by an adult. The course surface is tarmac or solid blocks and is suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs; road running shoes are recommended. Dogs may take part but must start at the back and be kept on a short lead.
Prizes include medals for all finishers and awards by overall and age categories; results are published in real time. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
