Route information
The event is open to runners of all abilities whether it will be your first 5k/10k or your 50th, this undulating route offers a perfect chance for a chip timed with full road closures during the event.
The 2026 Hemel Hempstead 5k & 10k will start and finish at Riverside Shopping Centre and follow an undulating route which takes in the pedestrianised areas of Hemel Hempstead town centre, through the High Street, the 5k will head back down Marlowes and the 10k head off down Old Town, and through Gadebridge Park back onto Marlowes. Each km will be accurately marked out with distance flags you can’t miss and there will be plenty of helpers along the course to keep you on track and encourage you all the way to the finish line.
