The Greenway Challenge

Letchworth Garden City, United Kingdom • 10 May 2026

Event details

The Greenway Challenge takes place on Sunday 10 May 2026 in Letchworth Garden City. The event is a self-guided run around the Garden City Greenway in a clockwise direction, starting and finishing at Standalone Farm. The course is approximately 13 miles. It is described as a run rather than a race because of road crossings. The event is held under UKA rules and has a minimum age of 17.

Marshals will be positioned at road crossings but they will not stop traffic; participants are responsible for their own safety. A map, written instructions and a GPX file are provided on the event website so participants navigate the route themselves. There is a time limit of 3 hours, after which marshals will stand down. All finishers will receive a wooden medal from a Garden City company, and there will be refreshments and cake at the finish.
