Running in Hatfield.
A new town built around the former de Havilland aerodrome, home to the University of Hertfordshire's de Havilland campus and Hertfordshire Sports Village. No verified dedicated senior running club, but hosts real currently-running events and the former aerodrome site at Ellenbrook Fields is a genuine local running space.
Hatfield doesn't have a running club of its own. The nearest is Garden City Runners in Welwyn Garden City, about 3 miles away — close enough for a regular session if you're happy to travel for it.
Hatfield has its own parkrun, Birchwood Leisure Centre junior parkrun, every Saturday at 9am — free, timed, and open to anyone.
Where people actually run around Hatfield: Ellenbrook Fields, Hatfield Park (Hatfield House grounds).
