⏳ Last chance to race at the Ware Festival of Running!

We're down to fewer than 30 entries — don't miss out. The 10 mile is now full, but grab a 10k spot and you can swap to the longer distance on the day if you're feeling brave.

Once they're gone, they're gone. Secure your place now.

☕ We're absolutely buzzing to welcome Herts Coffee LAB as a sponsor of the Ware Festival of Running this July! ☕🏃

If you're a Ware Jogger, you'll already know just how good they are - the Sunday run starts outside their door, and let's be honest, the promise of their speciality coffee and incredible cake at the end is at least half of the motivation to get round! 😄

Herts Coffee Lab are all about "great coffee, great community, great day" - and that feels like a pretty perfect fit for the Ware Festival of Running.

We're so grateful to have a local business that's already part of our running community stepping up to support the event. Welcome to the team! 🙌

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Think your colleagues can outrun the competition?

We're thrilled to introduce the Ware Workplace Challenge - a brand new team competition at this year's Ware Festival of Running! 🎉

Get 3 or more of your workmates together, lace up, and go head to head against other local businesses over the 10k or 10 mile course. Your team's average finish time is what counts - so even if the boss is slow, a speedy junior could save the day! 😄

🏆 A prize awaits the fastest local business team in each distance!

Whether you're a seasoned runner or just doing it for the team biscuits, this is your chance to put your business on the map - and leave your rivals in the dust.

How to enter: See below for details 👇

💛 Investing in Our Community 🏃

Joining our sponsor family this July is Saffron Building Society. Saffron is a mutual building society that has been proudly serving the local community since 1849, with a branch right on our High Street in Ware. As a mutual organisation, they exist solely for the benefit of their members - so it's no surprise that investing in the communities they serve is at the very heart of what they do.

Their support of the Ware Festival of Running is a fantastic example of that community commitment in action, and we couldn't be more grateful to have them on board for 2026. Please join us in giving Saffron Building Society a very warm welcome to the team! 🎉

Happy parkrun day tomorrow. We are very lucky in Ware to have so many local parkruns for training (or just an enjoyable morning). How many have you visited of our nearest TEN?

🏃 Sponsor Spotlight 🏃

We're delighted to welcome Realistic Financial Planning as a sponsor of the 2026 Ware Festival of Running!

You may already know Richard Earl from his role in the core team at Westmill parkrun - and now he's supporting our event too! Richard and his colleague Demi Nurse offer independent fixed-fee financial advice right here in the local area, helping individuals, families and business owners with retirement planning, investments, protection and more.
