Course Details
The course is 99% flat / fast and is run along the Thames Path out / back. We would ask runners to exercise due care when running under Richmond Bridge then past the Richmond town centre, as this area can get very congested, so please take extra care when running past this area and be very courteous to the general public.
The conditions are weather dependant and if it rains the Thames Path trail can get muddy on stretches.
