The Greenway Challenge 2026
The Greenway Challenge is a self guided run around the Garden City Greenway in Letchworth Garden City on Sunday 10 May 2026. The route runs in a clockwise direction and is approximately 13 miles, starting and finishing at Standalone Farm, Wilbury Road, Letchworth Garden City SG6 4JN.
The event is organised under UKA rules and has a minimum age of 17. It is designated as a run rather than a race because the course includes road crossings. Marshals will be present at road crossings but they will not stop traffic; participants are responsible for their own safety and for following the provided route instructions.
The route is supported with a map, written instructions and a GPX file. There is a time limit of three hours, after which marshals will stand down. All finishers will receive a wooden medal produced by a Garden City company, and refreshments and cake will be available at the finish.
Entry fee is £20 with an increase to £22 from 1 January 2026. Members of clubs affiliated to their national association are eligible for a £2 discount. All profits from the event are donated to GRIT, a Hitchin based charity supporting teenagers with mental health issues. Entries may be amended or transferred via the link in the confirmation email.
