Profile
The Berkhamsted Half Marathon, which tracks through very attractive Chilterns countryside, is an ideally timed event for runners coming back to competitive running after winter training (or hibernation!). It is frequently used as a serious “marker” for those training for the full marathon distance of the London Marathon and elsewhere.
The event is promoted by Berkhamsted Rotary Club who aim to organise a successful and challenging half-marathon event together with an interesting Five Mile Fun Run. Over the years this Rotary event has raised more than £300,000 for various charities.
The Five Mile Fun run is a very popular event with local runners, especially family teams, local schools and community groups who raise sponsorship for their own charitable causes. Sharing part of the Half Marathon route through beautiful countryside, finishing the run gives a great sense of achievement.
