Love Luton RunFest - 5K, 10K & Half Marathon
Love Luton RunFest is a town running event taking place in Luton on 11 October 2026. The event starts and finishes in the town centre at St George's Square and uses traffic-free, closed roads and several parks on its courses. Organisers plan to use the same courses as the previous year, with Hatterts Way closed for a safer half marathon section along the busway.
