Herts 10k, 6th October
This year we’re thrilled to unveil an exciting new venue, route, and different distance options to choose from!
The event now boasts three tiers of challenge for any level of ability:
- Our flagship 10K is back with a new route to challenge your PB – for ages 14 and over
- Introducing the 5K if you’d like to take on a gentler challenge – open to anyone aged 11 and up.
- Our brand new Family Fun Run (1.5K) means children of all ages can join in the fun! (under 8s must be accompanied by an adult)
The brand new route at the Herts County Showground follows a mix of short grass and hard standing, and includes some fun features including a ‘roller coaster’ up and down a slope and a whizzy spiral to get you in a spin!
This is a really fun, community event, and our volunteers make a real difference to help it run smoothly, and all say how much they enjoy it.
We are looking for volunteers to help in the following roles:
- Registration
- T-shirt collection point
- VIP tent
- Handing out medals
- Bag drop
If you could spare a few hours to support us, you will be helping to raise vital funds to support patients and families in your local community.

About Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care
We are proud to offer care in the place that best suits the individual’s needs, whether that’s at home, in a care home, in a short stay in our inpatient unit, out in the community, or in our purpose-built Living Well Centre facilities. As a hospice care charity, we have offered this support, free of charge, for over 40 years.
Our staff team of 340+ includes a wide range of patient-facing disciplines plus operational support based in Watford, Tring, St Albans, Chalfont St Giles and Berkhamsted. The Charity is now one of the larger UK hospice charities, reaching a GP population of 797,037 of whom 75% live in Hertfordshire and 25% in Buckinghamshire.
Looking after over 4,500 patients a year, as well as those around them, is a huge privilege, one we simply could not achieve without the incredible support of our 1600 strong volunteer workforce. Our multidisciplinary team helps people to live well and receive support in the place that best suits their needs, when they need it the most. We’re here to help the whole family cope during the most difficult of times, early in diagnosis, during a patient’s illness and, if needed, when those around them are dealing with grief and bereavement.
