Organiser's Description
Runners World rated as one of the top 10 marathons in the U.K.
Course Description / Route
Thames Meander Route/ Laps: The run route will still start at the new Petersham & Ham Sea Cadets HQ venue and will run beside the Thames Path as far as the Kew Gardens Car Park (steps mid way along) which will be the new turnaround point for both the half marathon route. Laps wise it will entail x2 – 6.7mile out and back loops for the half marathon and x4 6.7mile loops for the marathon along this very scenic stretch of the Thames Path trail. This is a trail run not a road race so please understand that both routes are as accurate as they can possibly be on this Thames Path trail. The turnaround point at Kew Gardens will be very well marshalled by our 1254 Godalming Air Cadets. Both the checkpoints will also be very well stocked with a selection of high energy foods, gels, drinks and electrolyte powders so you can keep well hydrated, retain your electrolyte balance and maintain your re-fueling needs throughout the event staging.
The route will revert to the former out / back route for the forthcoming Thames Meander in October, once the flood defence work has been completed by the Richmond Council between the White Hart Public House and Barns Bridge. This will be an out / back route starting at the Petersham & Ham Sea Cadets and heading all the way along the Thames Path towards Barnes as far as the Barns Sports Club, and back to the Start / Finish at Petersham Cadets HQ.

Course Details
Both the half and marathon routes will start / finish at the Petersham & Ham Sea Cadets race HQ, Petersham Rd, Richmond, TW10 7AH.
Route to proceed from the Petersham & Ham Sea Cadets Start / Finish area HQ in situ, and the route will proceed all way along the Thames Path out towards Richmond town centre, past Kew Gardens all the way to Barns (opposite the Barnes Sports Club) which is the turnaround point. The course will then return to the Petersham & Ham Sea Cadets HQ. It is a 1 lap route for this out / back half marathon and a 2 lap route for the marathon course.
The route for both the races will be very well signposted with fixed pink / black Hermes Running signs marking the run-route, and there will be marshals at both the turnaround points at Barns (opposite the Barnes Sports Club).The marathon runners will be given red race bib numbers and the half marathon runners will be allocated blue race bib numbers, this is to make it much easier for our marshals / runners to distinguish between the full and half, so if you see a runner flying past you just check out their race bib before you decide to speed up!
