Course information
The St Albans route is an amazing journey through a piece of history. Hilly in places and fairly challenging, we set off by Westminster Lodge before traversing the open fields, enjoying splendid views of the Abbey. The 10k course is two laps of the 5k route.
There will one water station on the course, at around 5km, and one at the finish line. Please bring your own bottle if you feel you will need more than this.
Please arrive 30 to 45 minutes before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.
Meeting point
The start line is in the field next to Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre.
