How To Get There

Arrival, Venue Directions & Parking

The race starts and finishes on the fields at the Hawker Centre, on Lower Ham Road, Surrey, KT25BH, as indicated by the arrow on the map below.

Please note that we have lost use of the Hawker Centre Car Park - there will be NO CAR PARKING within the Centre as in previous years Members were complaining that they couldn’t park their cars! There will be a marshal on the gates to turn runners away. Please park your cars in the surrounding roads. There is loads of free parking in and around the Hawker Centre. Please use common sense when parking and do not block any driveways. On a plus note we do again have access to the main building which will be open from 8am. Please note we did lose the main building last year as again Members complained about runners bringing in muddy trainers and taking over the Centre. So we have been given a second chance! However, if we get even 1 complaint from the Members then we will lose the site for future runs!

If travelling by train, the nearest station is Kingston. From the station, turn left onto Richmond Road and either catch the 65 bus towards Ealing or walk to the Hawker Centre (20 mins) If travelling by car, there is NO PARKING at the HAWKER CENTRE. There will be Marshals at the Gates to stop runners parking inside the Centre. There is plenty of free parking in the nearby residential roads. Dukes Avenue and Riverside Drive are close by. Please be considerate to the residents, by keeping noise to a minimum, if parking in these areas.

Fun Run Fun. Great race, the crowd was small which gave you space to hit your pace but there was enough runners to challenge and push you forwards! Definitely a PB course, the mid was a challenge due to wet weather previously but would definitely run again. Really well organised!
