The HERTS 10K is Rennie Grove Hospice Care's flagship fundraising event with thousands of runners coming back year after year in support of the local charity.
Although the event is one of the largest 10K runs in Hertfordshire, it is still very much a community event. The atmosphere on the day is fantastic with many more people coming along to support family and friends. Refreshments are available for spectators and there are bouncy castles for the children.
This is a beautiful multi-terrain course which is both sign posted and marshalled, with km markers along the route. There are water points on route and at the finish you will receive water and a snack along with your finishers medal. Free secure bag storage is available on site for participants provided by Magenta Storage.
