This race has a unique feel in that you are running amongst a historic setting with a cosmopolitan feel to it. The course profile is classified as flat and it has one small climb.
The route itself is a beautiful one. It starts right in the town centre, with the first kilometer (the north loop) being on closed roads that go anti-clockwise around town. You then head out towards the Gosmore and Charlton villages to complete a clockwise south loop, before heading back into Hitchin. You complete another 1km loop that you started on, and then that all famous Town Centre finish.
