The ever popular Wheathampstead 10K run will be taking place on Sunday 17 May 2015, starting in Sheepcote Lane and ending up on the Marford Playing Fields. This annual event has become a favourite amongst local runners and even sees competitors from much further afield coming to the village, encouraged by reports of a run with a local feel that takes in some beautiful countryside.
