AL10 Hatfield Lunch Run 25.07.19

By 25th July 2019 July 31st, 2019 News, Past Events

Our hottest EVER run/walk!!

The launch of our Hertfordshire-wide campaign to get towns active began in Hatfield AL10 as part of their celebrations for the 70th Anniversary of the first flight of the Comet.

At the same time a heatwave swept the UK, breaking all records for our hottest ever event with a crazy 38 degrees centigrade on the thermometer!

In spite of the temperature, local people turned out and contributed to a collective achievement of 122.4km – the equivalent of nearly 3 marathons. Huge, huge achievement!

The event was organised in partnership with the WelHat Community Sports Fund, Hatfield Council, Ocado and the Aloha Tri team. We’re delighted to say that all profits from the event were donated to “The Soldiers Charity”, which you can learn more about below.

The route involved a 1KM loop, starting and finishing near Hatfield Marketplace during Thursday lunchtime.
