Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care is delighted to announce the return of its popular Herts 10K event with a new venue, new route and different distance options to choose from.
The annual event will take place on Sunday 6 October 2024 at its new venue, Herts County Showground, and for the first time will feature the traditional 10K running course as well as a brand new 5K route and fun run option.
The running extravaganza promises something for everyone with a short fun run for the whole family, a 5K race for those who may be new to running and a 10K for runners who are looking for a challenge or an opportunity to achieve their personal best.
The Herts 10K is open to runners aged 14 years and over while the 5K option is open to children aged 11 years and over. The fun run is open to all ages, with children under the age of 8 years needing to the accompanied by a paying adult.
Tracey Hancock, Director of Fundraising at Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care, says:
“The Herts 10K is a much-loved and well supported event in the area so we’re delighted to be making changes this year to make it even bigger and better than ever before. Regular runners have a new route at our brand-new venue to look forward to, while the new 5K and fun run options have opened the event up to the whole family.
“Every penny raised by the event will be used to fund our vital hospice care services for local people who are living with a life-limiting illness. This year we’re challenging runners to raise £37 each. That is enough to fund an hour of care from one of our nurses to offer patients and their families vital clinical, practical and emotional support when they need it the most.”
Standard entry to the 10K race costs £30 with tickets for the 5K costing £16 and the fun run at just £10 per person. Runners who book before 31 May can take advantage of early bird prices and UK Athletics Affiliates benefit from a reduced rate.
10K and 5K runners will receive a t-shirt, medal on finishing and will be chip timed. Fun runners will receive a treat at the end of their race.
