Event overview

It is run each year on the Sunday closest to St Valentine's Day. It is recognised nationally as a tough event, providing a good training race for those planning a spring marathon. The 2025 event will be the 31st running of this prestigious event. This is a club race organised by runners for runners. Famed for our enthusiastic marshals and efficient organisation, we will cheer you round this testing course. With the London marathon back to its April date we are expecting the St Valentine’s 30K to once again be a sell-out event as people book races that fit neatly with their marathon training schedules. Please remember there will be no entries on the day and quite honestly, the race is likely to sell out well before the end of 2024! After the success of last year, runners who select TREE will once again be able to contribute to TEES for TREES instead of receiving a race shirt.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
