Good event - very well organised. No real problem at the start though faster runners at the start may have felt a bit cramped on the pavements initially. Really well marshalled and a lovely route along the Thames with morning rowers out on the river. Goodie bag very exciting and decent design t shirts!!

First time doing this race and very much enjoyed it. Course is a mix of road and footpaths alongside the river. Well organised and a decent goodie bag at the end. Start is a narrow funnel so quite congested for the 1st Km or so. Well organised and would recommend.
Thanks for your comments Steven. We're working on the start this year to make the first corner more manageable.

The Richmond/ Windsor/ Worthing RUN-FEST and Kew The Run is organised by RUNFEST LTD (Company Reg No. 08521533). The aim is to organise a fun local event involving the whole family and the local community. We have been organising the Richmond Runfest for 14 years and we organised the British Olympic Marathon Trials. From the outset, the event has looked to incorporate all the wonderful examples we have witnessed from all corners of the running world. At RUN-FEST we do not like to use the word 'NO' and look to incorporate as many peoples ideas and inspiration as possible. We started this event as a blank canvas and continue to add pencil thin structure and lots of colour to it as we go along. We hope this is just the start of a wonderful journey for the RUN-FEST team and hope to include many people from the running community. If you have any colour that you think will look good on the canvas and want to get involved then please get in touch and help us achieve something different!
