Join us at 11am on February 14, 2027 for the fabulous Stamford Striders' St Valentine 30k.
It is recognised nationally as a tough event, providing good training for a spring marathon.
This will be the 33rd running of this prestigious event.
This is an event organised by runners and is famed for our very enthusiastic marshals.
Participants receive a technical top with their race number, or they can opt to help the charity 'Tees for Trees' instead.
If you are in a genuine relationship with another runner, why not register as a Valentine Pair? Your combined times might win you a couple’s prize. No, we don’t need to see marriage certificates, but we do trust that you are a couple!
We hope you will appreciate that large sums of money will have been committed well ahead of the race. Accordingly, we operate a NO REFUNDS POLICY regardless of cause. We offer individual runners the option of insurance. We also provide a transfer system to let you move your place to another runner.
You must be 18+ years to enter.
Love Running, Love the 30k
Charlie Noble, Race Director
