How To Get There
We are starting right next to Sheen Gate. The nearest postcode we have for here is SW14 8BJ. This is not the exact postcode but should give you a close enough location with a sat nav. Sheen Lane is the street that takes you directly in to the park.
Train - Richmond mainline station is about 30-40 minutes walk and Mortlake is about a 20 minute walk away. Getting there from the Tube/Train station will need careful planning. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time!!
By foot - The park is easily accessible by both foot and cycle. Cycle parking is available.
Parking
There is car parking here with toilets situated on the right immediately as you enter the Park. Please note that the carpark has limited space as this is open to the public.
Course Details
The course will be a 4 lap loop with the runners registering chip times on each lap. Lap times will be listed in the results so you can track how well you paced your run.
We will have a lead bike and plenty of marshals as well as mile signs and arrows all around the course. Please be aware that there will be spectators and members of the public walking around the park on their Sunday walk. Please familiarise yourself with the course map before you start, there is a mixture of trail paths, well trodden pathway, and grass.
