A community focused event, ATW St Albans Half Marathon (a.k.a #icelollyrun) aims to raise money for local charities and organisations as well as put on a great day out for all the family, delivered by runners for runners.

In 2025, £1 from your entry is being donated to the upkeep of St Albans Abbey View Running Track, and the Fun Run will finish on the track's home straight for the very first time.

Those looking for a challenge can take on the scenic Half Marathon or Walking Half, which takes you on a challenging but rewarding closed-road route through the country lanes of St Albans.

​Our 5K is open to everyone over 11, and this year a new route takes you out on to the closed roads used for the Half Marathon, before finishing with a short lap around Verulamium Park.

Our brand new closed-road 10K is open to everyone over the age of 15 and will start alongside the half-marathon runners. (There is no time limit on the 10k)

The Family Fun Run is open to all ages, however children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult with their own ticket. The route starts under the main race arch and follows a route through the park before finishing on the running track. Please note the Family Fun Run is not chip-timed.

Follow the St Albans Half Marathon Facebook page for updates, announcements and coverage.
