Running Running Events in South East 2026–2027

Join ATW Events for the 12th Year of the Hatfield 5! Featuring the Herts County Senior Championships. The fastest 5 miler around (3rd fastest time in the UK 2022!) The race starts at The Forum, on the Herts University Campus, before heading along the pavements of college lane. After two sweeping bends, you are on The Alban Way, one of the most popular running routes in Hatfield and St Albans. You will turn onto Wilkins Green Lane, and follow it to the end where you will have only completed 3 metres of climbing! After crossing the Alban Way you'll join Smallford Lane and another sweeping corner will take you onto Sleapcross Gardens, before meandering onto the super-flat and straight A414 footpath. Taking the footpath onto Comet Way, you'll head back to the final mile, along the Alban Way and back into race HQ, having finished one of the fastest 5 mile courses in the UK! Participants can look forward to a supportive atmosphere, custom-designed medals, and free event photos, as well as finish line snacks and goodies to recharge after your run. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, the ATW Hatfield 5 promises a memorable experience and plenty of positive vibes.

The Maverick Hampshire Trail 2027 SATURDAY 20 MARCH 2027 | MATTERLEY BASIN GRAND PRIX TRACK We’re heading to the rolling beauty of the South Downs National Park, exploring the trails that sweep around historic Winchester for a perfect early-season test in 2027. This is classic Maverick terrain - open landscapes, flowing singletrack, and undulating chalk downland that invites you to settle into rhythm while never quite letting you switch off. With three route options on offer, there’s something here for every runner looking to build winter miles, shake off the cobwebs, and set the tone for the season ahead. Expect a mix of fast, hard-packed trails and punchy climbs that open out into vast panoramic views across the National Park. The routes wind their way past the tranquil River Itchen, through sections of fast-moving woodland, and out onto exposed ridgelines before bringing you back toward the iconic Cheesefoot Head. And don’t be surprised if you find yourself moving quicker than expected - this is a fast course underfoot, and when the legs are turning over, PBs and early-season course records are very much on the cards. It’s the kind of terrain that rewards commitment: steady on the climbs, smooth on the descents, and always asking just a little more of you than you planned to give. With easy access from London, this Hampshire classic is the ideal early-season hit-out for any trail runner looking to build momentum heading into the year. Late winter miles start here - the Maverick way.
