Join Team Garden House and take on the Hitchin Hard Half Marathon - a difficult, yet rewarding, local running event. The charity run, organized by Burnt Hare Events, will take place on Sunday 7th June. By its very name, this is not the half marathon for beginners! You’ll encounter hilly and undulating terrain, starting at 9am at Hitchin Priory and running on country roads in between, before finishing back at the same location. The Tough 10 Miler kicks off five minutes later and is an equally hard and hilly route.

Age restrictions

You must be 15 or older on event day to take part in the Tough 10 Miler, and 17 to take part in the Half Marathon. Adults must book for anyone under 18 at the time of booking. Please choose the relevant ticket when registering and include your details first, then fill in the attendee details on the second screen.

Registration

The registration fee for this event is £20 per person for the Tough 10 Miler or £24 per person for the Half Marathon. This includes a Team Garden House tech t-shirt - please select a size when you sign-up.

Sponsorship

We ask each Half Marathon runner to pledge to raise a minimum of £200 and each Tough 10 Miler participant to pledge to raise a minimum of £100. This will help Garden House Hospice Care to continue to provide its specialist, compassionate care to local people facing life-limiting illnesses. Running a half marathon or 10 miles - especially in events this challenging - is the perfect way to support us while reaching your own goals.
