Event Day Information

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.

Course Details

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. 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.

Good park run. The event was a good number of racers with helpful marshals and clear indications of where to go. Parking and registration was no problem. A few walkers/cyclists and non event runners, but not many and a few challenging stretches of course.

Good way to spend a morning. Never done a 10k before. Thought it was well-organised, good fun and the park is obviously a lovely place to run. Only note I have is that there’s a park run just before which follows the same route - given that it had been raining the night before, this meant some areas of the grass were extra soggy and churned up

Nice race. Well organised race, did the 10k (2 laps). Interesting course with a long uphill for about 2k followed by fast 2k downhill and 1k slow rise. Could have had a bit more advise for slower runners to avoid problems when overtaking!

Great marshalls - organised. Organised with friendly and helpful marshalls and a quick registration. Chip timings instant and a themed medal! 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. Well organised event with very helpful staff. Lovely course through Richmond park and a very enjoyable run. Bag storage wasn't the most secure so wouldn't want to leave valuables. Great event overall and would definitely sign up again!
