ATW St Albans Half Marathon #icelollyrun
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. All finishers will receive a medal and an ice lolly at the finish line. We are proud to announce that all ice lollies have been kindly donated by Motor Fuel Group.
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 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)
Our 5K is open to everyone over 11, and the route starts on the race track and takes you around Verulamium Park ending at the main finish line. This is a great distance for anyone wanting to take part in an extended fun run with a trail run feel.
The Family Fun Run is open to all ages, however children under 11 must be accompanied by an adult with their own ticket, for the fun run. Both child and adult must have 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.
