Welcome to the Stevenage Spring Half Marathon and 10k, an invigorating race that promises both scenic beauty and community spirit. Set against the backdrop of Easter weekend, this event offers runners a unique blend of challenging terrain and warm support from fellow participants. The half marathon route begins and ends on Ridlins Stadium's traffic-free athletics track, providing a smooth start to your run. The course then takes you through picturesque streets around Stevenage before looping back for an extended lap around Fairlands Valley Park. This park section offers runners the chance to enjoy lush greenery and serene surroundings while completing their 21.1 kilometers. For those choosing the 10k option, the race includes a shorter loop of Fairlands Valley Park early in your run, adding a touch of natural beauty before you head back towards Ridlins Stadium for your finish line celebration. The event is designed to cater to all levels of runners with a generous three-hour and thirty-minute cut-off time. As you approach the finish line, be greeted by professional commentators and cheer squads who will keep your energy high throughout your race day journey. Before the main events begin at 09:30 AM for both races, a complimentary 400-meter Children’s Fun Run kicks off at 09:00 AM on the Ridlins Stadium track. This family-friendly event allows children to experience the thrill of running and serves as an ideal warm-up activity for parents who are participating in either race. Once you cross the finish line, a variety of amenities await you. Enjoy live music performances that set the mood for your post-race celebration while quality caterers provide snacks and refreshments to help you recover from your efforts. Massage stations will also be available if you need some recovery assistance before heading home or exploring further around Stevenage. In addition to these perks, participants have a chance to contribute positively beyond their personal achievements by raising money for Alzheimer's Research UK through the event registration process. Every step taken becomes part of a collective effort towards finding new treatments and ultimately curing this debilitating disease. Join us at the vibrant event village where you can connect with fellow runners or share your dreams and accomplishments on ATW’s social media platforms, fostering a sense of community among participants nationwide. This spring, embrace the opportunity to challenge yourself while surrounded by supportive peers in Stevenage. Whether it's crossing the finish line for personal bests or simply enjoying an engaging day out, the Stevenage Spring Half Marathon & 10k offers something special for everyone involved. For more information about event transfers and refunds, please refer to ATW’s policies which allow participants flexibility should unforeseen circumstances arise.
