Love Luton RunFest | 5K

The 2023 Half Marathon, 10k & 5k races will all start and finish from St Georges Square in Luton. This year we will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of this wonderful event that brings together running enthusiasts from across the country, to showcase our wonderful town. The half marathon course takes in the stunning grounds of Luton Hoo estate with runners passing the iconic mansion house and breath-taking landscape. The 10K & 5K routes will not go into the grounds of Luton Hoo and therefore makes the course much more accessible to all, but still a great opportunity for those raising money for charities or looking to take on a new challenge whilst still getting to experience the great atmosphere on the day. All courses are on road, some parts are hilly making the course challenging at times but they are evenly spread throughout. All this coupled with beautiful scenery and being traffic free makes for a wonderful experience. Love Luton is delighted to have Luton Hoo Hotel, Golf & Spa, Active Luton as the official race partners. Spaces are limited so runners are encouraged to sign up early to avoid disappointment. The Half Marathon race will begin at 9am closely followed by the 10K at 8:50am and the 5K at 8:45am. All runners will have a maximum of three hours to finish. A fully qualified and experienced convoy will follow the race and will lift the road closures as soon as it is safe to do so, allowing traffic to flow as normal. All road closures will be lifted by no later than 12:30pm.
