Are you dreading another Monday night spent scrolling through your phone or sitting at home alone? You’re not alone in this feeling, and that’s exactly why we’re here! This isn’t just a run; it’s a vibrant space for individuals to come together, move their bodies, clear their minds, and feel a sense of belonging once again.
Imagine a gathering of real people, enjoying fresh air and nurturing genuine connections.
What It’s All About
Join us every Monday for a relaxed 5K social run around the picturesque Hitchin. We don’t just run; we chat, we laugh, and afterwards, we typically head out for a drink because the best conversations often happen after a few miles.
- No one gets left behind!
- No cliques, no awkward introductions.
- Most participants come solo, just like you.
Whether you’re new to the area, eager to meet new faces, or simply seeking a reason to step out on a Monday evening, you are more than welcome to join us.
Why This Matters
This is about more than just running.
85% of adults in the UK have reported feeling lonely in the past year, and nearly 44% feel chronically isolated.
If you resonate with this, know you’re definitely not alone. At Be Dating Beautiful, we believe that forming connections should feel natural, not forced or awkward, and certainly not limited to screens. We are proud supporters of Marmalade Trust and Loneliness Awareness Week.
Sometimes, it’s not about undertaking grand gestures; it’s simply about showing up, being around others, and starting anew.

About Me
Hi, I’m Eleni, a 42-year-old single mom from Hertfordshire. I founded Be Dating Beautiful to encourage people to live boldly and beautifully.
I’m not a personal trainer or running coach; I’m simply someone who understands the importance of community and new experiences.
Five years ago, following my divorce, I made a commitment to say yes to life. What started with small steps—like solo lunch dates and day trips—eventually led me to bold adventures. It wasn’t always easy, but I found strength in therapy, wine nights with friends, and taking baby steps forward. Today, I’m the one urging, “Let’s do it!” and I want you to feel that too!
