The Greenway Challenge

Letchworth Garden City, United Kingdom • 10 May 2026

The Greenway Challenge 2026

The Greenway Challenge is a self guided run around the Garden City Greenway in Letchworth Garden City, starting and finishing at Standalone Farm (SG6 4JN). The course is approximately 13 miles and follows a clockwise route around the greenway.

The event is held under UKA rules and has a minimum age of 17. Because of road crossings it is organised as a run rather than a race. A map, written route instructions and a GPX file are provided to participants, who are responsible for navigation and personal safety. Marshals will be present at road crossings but they will not stop traffic; there is a three hour time limit after which marshals will stand down.

All finishers will receive a wooden medal produced by a Garden City company. Refreshments and cake are available at the finish. Entry is priced at £20, rising to £22 from 1 January 2026; members of clubs affiliated to their national association receive a £2 discount. Participants may amend details or transfer entries via the confirmation email. All profits from the event are donated to the club charity, GRIT, which supports teenagers with mental health issues in Hitchin. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
