Great event. It was not the easiest Half Marathon as it has so many hills but the route was very nice with beautiful views and it’s a very good training for a Marathon. I loved the fact there was children’s race before. My son enjoyed it and was very proud of himself winning 3rd place and getting a fantastic medal. I would definitely recommend this half marathon to all runners who like challenge.

Organiser's description

The Welwyn Half Marathon starts and finishes on the 400m athletics track at Gosling Sports Park. You will be directed out of the stadium, towards the Cole Green Way – a disused railway line which is now the perfect track to run along. After this traffic free section you will complete a short loop to bring you back onto the Cole Green Way again. You then complete the first section in reverse and finish with a track finish at Gosling Sports Park. At the end of the race, you will be greeted by a happy and smiling marshal, who will award you with your custom 2018 Welwyn Half Marathon medal. Water, fruit and other energy foods will be provided upon finishing the race.
We are proud to announce that our charity sponsor for the race is the Isabel Hospice – A Welwyn Garden City based charity, who provide free care for patients and their families living with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses in eastern Hertfordshire.
