The Half Marathon
The Half Marathon, which tracks through very attractive Chilterns countryside, is an ideally timed event for runners coming back to competitive running after winter training (or hibernation!) It is frequently used a serious "marker" for those training for the full marathon distance of the London Marathon and elsewhere
Schools Challenge
We offer a £250 School Prize for the top 4 girls and boys in School teams entering the 5 mile Fun Run. See conditions here. Entering a team will also enable students to raise cash through personal or team sponsorship for their favourite charity and everyone will get fit too! Most schools have been contacted with details of how to enter a team but if not then email us for details.
The Organisers
The event is promoted by Berkhamsted Rotary Club who aim to organise a successful and challenging half-marathon event together with an interesting 5 mile fun run. Over the years this Rotary event has raised more than £320,000 for various charities
The Five Mile Fun Run
The Five Mile Fun run is a very popular event with local runners, especially family teams, local schools and community groups who raise sponsorship for their own charitable causes. Sharing part of the Half Marathon route through beautiful countryside, finishing the run gives a great sense of achievement
Prizes
Generous running and fund raising prizes will be awarded - see Prizes for details
