Love Welwyn 10K returns to Stanborough

Stanborough Park were delighted to once again host the Active Training World Love Welwyn Garden City 10k event on Sunday 16th February 2025.

This ever popular event has taken place at Stanborough Park for many years now. It has always taken place on the closest weekend to Valentine’s Day to allow runners to ‘Fall in love with running’. February 2025 marked the 10th Anniversary of this well loved race.

The 10k course takes advantage of the beautiful backdrop of the local Welwyn Garden City area and Includes Mill Green and Lemsford finishing up with a loop around Stanborough’s North Lake.

Over 350 runners attended the race and the winner was St. Albans Striders Patrick Hayes in a time of just 35 minutes and 8 seconds.

Many of the runners were ringing the Personal Best (PB) bell at the finish line to indicate that they had just covered the 10K distance in their fastest ever time. All participants received a custom-designed medal and delightful finish line goodies courtesy of the ATW Team. The ATW event was a fantastic opportunity for runners of all levels to experience the thrill of racing while enjoying the heart-warming spirit of community.
