The ATW Watford Half Marathon & 10K is scheduled for February 1, 2026, continuing its legacy as one of Hertfordshire’s most popular races. Set from Cassiobury Park, the event offers three race options: a half marathon, a 10K, and a 1.8 km Family Fun Run for younger participants and families. The half marathon course weaves through charming countryside lanes and rural villages like Bucks Hill, Commonwood Common, and Chandlers Cross before returning to the park, all on fully closed roads. The 10K offers a flat and fast route alongside the Grand Union Canal towpath and wooded trails, ideal for PBs. With lively course entertainment, a bustling event village, and a £2,000 cash spot prize up for grabs, this event blends community spirit with competitive racing.
