Your Town 5K run

Dacorum Borough Council has now organised two Your Town 5k Hemel Runs, which have been a great success! After our virtual event last year, we are excited to get back to welcoming you all to the heart of Hemel Hempstead, Gadebridge Park! This year, the Hemel Your Town 5k will be supporting local charity, DENs.

This year we are going bigger and better, to celebrate our return; with fun free inflatables, stalls and food vendors for the community to enjoy. The ‘Your Town’ initiative led by Dacorum Borough Council in partnership with Your Town aims to encourage people to live healthy lives, get more engaged in their local community and make them proud of where they live.

Julie Banks, Portfolio Holder for Community and Regulatory Services said: “It’s fantastic to see a community event taking place, after such a prolonged period of isolation. Thank you to our partners Apex, for providing the free, to use inflatable fun this year too, which Dacorum Borough Council have funded.”

Whether you are looking to walk, jog or run, Dacorum Borough Council invite you to join us on Sunday 17th October for our biggest event yet. The course can be completed at your own pace and we welcome experienced runners, families, new runners and puppies too!

To take part in our 5k run, we are asking for a minimum ticket donation of £5.00 where all proceeds will be donated to DENs, a charity selected by the Mayor.

Everyone who takes part will receive a medal to show their support, for more information and to sign up, please visit: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/mayors-office-dacorum-borough-council/your-town-hemel/e-zjoqll
