Richmond Half Marathon @ Richmond RUNFEST 2026

Sun 13th September 2026

A group of runners participates in a race at the Richmond Run Fest. They run on a path with a large greenhouse in the background. One runner in colorful attire and glasses gives a thumbs up to the camera. Other runners wear race bibs, including numbers 931 and 480. A person is wearing a black T-shirt with a design related to Richmond, showing a stylized map where the Thames River runs through it. The text reads, "Richmond's so fast... even the Thames runs through it!" The background features a scenic river with boats and a bridge. A vibrant image featuring two race medals for Richmond RunFest against the scenic backdrop of a river with arched bridges and colorful rowboats. The large text “A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT...” is at the top of the image. The left medal reads "Richmond Half" and the right medal reads "Richmond Run-Fest 2023. A joyful runner wearing a bright neon outfit and bib number 11005 celebrates while crossing the finish line at the Richmond Runfest. Spectators cheer from behind barriers with event signage. Other runners and portable toilets are visible in the background. A large glass greenhouse stands symmetrically behind a serene lake, reflecting the structure and the blue sky above. In the foreground, leafy plants and flowers border the water. Trees surround the greenhouse, adding greenery to the picturesque scene. A person dressed in a large pumpkin costume and red cap is running along a riverside path during a fun run event. A bridge spans the river in the background, and a small crowd, including a person pushing a stroller, appears alongside the path. A diverse group of people, dressed in colorful athletic wear, are running through a lush, green park. In the background, a large pagoda structure is visible among the trees. The runners appear to be participating in a group exercise or race. A medal featuring an illustration of a dog wearing large sunglasses. The sunglasses have reflective lenses displaying the text "RICHMOND MARATHON." The dog's ears are perked up, and it has a whimsical, cartoonish appearance. Runners participating in a charity marathon pass under a large inflatable archway labeled "gofundme RUN-FEST." The scene is outdoors, with trees and a building in the background. Participants wear various running attire. A band performs at an outdoor event. The scene captures a vocalist singing into a microphone and a guitarist playing beside him. The audience is visible in the background, along with event banners, tents, and a sunny sky with trees framing the area.

Well organised and a good course with mix of trails as well as road running paths. Only negative was the hill right at the end to the finish line - definitely needed to push myself here! Would recommend however especially to anyone doing their first half
