ATW St Albans Half Marathon #icelollyrun
Verulamium Park, St Albans AL1 2DL
Welcome to the ATW St Albans Half Marathon page. We cannot wait to return to Verulamium Park on Sunday 14th June 2026! We are pleased to announce that the exciting 10K closed road run will be returning.
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 every entry was donated to the upkeep of St Albans', Abbey View Running Track, and we are delighted to announce that we will be supporting the track again in 2026.
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 is always a popular distance to take part in.
Our closed-road 10K will return for 2026 and 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. This ever popular Fun Run includes our primary School Challenge. Will your School be the winners this time? Please note the Family Fun Run is not chip-timed.
