Parking is available onsite but the carpark does get full quickly so plan your journey to arrive with plenty of time to spare.
The 5k will all start at 10am and the 10k will start at 10.10am
Registration will be open from 8.30am and will close at 9.50am.
You will collect your race pack at registration on the day of the event.
Race information will be sent by email pre-event and this will tell you what your race number is so you know where to queue on the day of the event.
You will be using Chip on Bib race numbers and it is important these are displayed on your outer garment to ensure we can see your race number when running and to help with the timing system to read your time.
The run will take you up and around Richmond Park and the course is a mix of country paths, a little bit of cross country and is slightly undulating. Off road buggies are ok. Wheelchair friendly however some sections are on grass/trail. Remember it's all good fun and you can walk, jog or run. The course may be altered prior to the event, and if so we will inform you of this.
The start of the run will be staggered to abide by Richmond Park Policy. However this will not affect your time as our Results Base timing system will record your time from when you cross the starting mat.
Check out a live view of the 5k run via our garmin download.
Check out a live view of the 10k run via our garmin download.
There will be marshals around the course to support and encourage you.
Water is available at the start/finish and at the 5k point. If you require additional fluid between these points please bring your own.
Please take care when running around the course as this is public land and local residents will be on the Park. Please always stay on the left unless otherwise guided. Be aware that there are deer in the Park and they occasionally cross the walking paths and roads.
Results go live as the event is taking place and can be viewed at the Results Base timing tent when you cross the finish line. These also go live to The Fix Events website.

Good park run!
Good way to spend a morning
Nice race
Great marshalls - organised
Negatives
- very muddy/pools of water (we were warned) causing lots of bottle necks and the beginning. I feel they could have amended the course
- 2 laps of the same course, less motivating
Great event
Not the best
Really great event and great course!
Lovely event, kind stewards and nice meadle to finish! Would definitely recommend
Lovely event
A lovely experience
Enjoyable Race
Think there should be a bit more flags around course rather than just the km markers to help with momentum but overall very good! Thank you
Very Enjoyable Event
Well Organized and a beautiful park to run in
Great event
Well organised jaunt around Richmond Park
Good route, in which your mostly running down the gradients at Richmond Park as opposed to up them.
Although the organisers said there isn’t much space for parking, it seemed okay for me. Although I did do my run in January, maybe it’s different in spring / summer.
My only criticism would be the number of toilets, especially for females - maybe some additional porter loos to increase capacity would help.
Perfect!
Great Event
Best stewards ever!!
A great first event
Well organised as always
Small but perfectly formed.
A small but amazing race
Great first ever 10K
Fantastic event.
My first 10k in Richmond Park
First ever 5k!
But next time hopefully for the 10k. The park is beautiful and the highlight was running past the stags! Couldn’t fault the event from start to finish.
