ROUTE

Starting from Ware station we run along the Lee Valley Navigation to Hertford. After running through the centre of Hertford we join the Cole Green Way which follows an old railway path to Welwyn Garden City, with options to finish your run there or turn around and return back to Hertford and then ware. This will provide options for faster and less-fast runners to do out or out and back routes at different paces and for different distances, and ideal for those training for a marathon or half-marathon.  Suggested options are (with approximate distances):

3 miles:  Ware – Hertford    

6 miles:  Ware – Hertford – Ware

9 miles:  Ware – Hertford – Welwyn Garden City station

11 miles:  Ware – Hertford – end of Green Cole Way – Hertford

14 miles:  Ware – Hertford – end of Green Cole Way – Hertford – Ware

If you want to run more than 14 miles there are options to run along the Lee Valley Navigation.
