Overview

The single lap course starts and finishes in Highfield Park and runs out along the flat and tree-lined, disused railway line called the Alban Way, towards Hatfield before making a loop via Sleapshyde and returning along the Alban Way. The whole route is on tarmac and most of the course is traffic-free.

This is the 3rd year I've taken part in the Easter 10K and it's always a great way to start the bank holiday weekend. Very well organised with some improvements from previous years. The support along the course was excellent, the signage clear. There were more toilets than previous years which meant no or less queues. The freebies that ATW have started to give out in recent races are much better and are more useful. The bunny medal is a lovely touch. Kate T

Great race. Alice C

Great start to the Easter weekend, well organised registration and care taken with straw down on the first 300m. Great vibe and energy with commentary and really helpful to have the pacers on the course. Roland B

Well organised, excellent course, very fun event! Charlotte C

What a great start to the Easter weekend. Great vibe at the start and finish. Lovely kids race and Easter egg hunt. The straw on that first couple of hundred metres was a great idea. Fergus D

Great event. Pre-event information really useful to plan for parking, registration and use of facilities pre-race. Staggered start worked well for the first part of the race in slightly more difficult conditions, appreciated the straw on the muddy areas!! Well-marked route, great encouragement from all the marshalls and supporters along the route. Love the medal- best yet!! Katy J
