New River Path — 45.1 km Running Point-to-point

This point-to-point run follows the New River Path from Hertford, tracing the historic watercourse through the Lea Valley. The route is almost entirely flat, using a mix of compact gravel paths, riverside tracks and short paved sections, making it ideal for steady, uninterrupted running. It passes through a changing landscape of open meadows, waterside corridors and quieter suburban stretches, with the New River never far away. The well-waymarked path offers an easy rhythm underfoot, while the peaceful surroundings provide a welcome contrast to the nearby towns. It’s an excellent choice for runners looking to cover longer distances without significant climbing.
