The “Lea Valley 50 km” is a fast 50 km from Welwyn Garden City to Hackney Wick in East London. The route follows the scenic Cole Green Way and Lea Valley Path all the way from rural Hertfordshire to the Big Smoke.

Welwyn is very accessible from Central London, being only a 35 minute train ride from Kings Cross station. The race finishes very close to Hackney Wick station for fast access back to other parts of London.

As with all Camino events you will be fully supported by 3 excellently supported and stocked Aid stations.

All finishers get a Camino finishers pack that contains some awesome locally sourced goods.

All Camino events are in partnership with Trees Not Tees – so you can always select to have a tree planted rather than receive any goods.

“I just wanted to email over and say thank you so much for putting on such a fantastic event and welcoming me so generously. I loved the event and had so much fun throughout. I hope you both had a good day and everything went as smoothly as possible. All I have seen and heard from other runners is great feedback so that’s amazing. Hopefully see you at an event in the future” Matt Rees Welsh International https://www.instagram.com/thewelshrunner/
