THE EVENT

The run will kick off at 9.30am and will take you up towards Richmond where you will turn and head back down the river towards Kingston before heading back to the finish!

There is car parking at the Start/Finish point on Ham Street however this is limited so either arrive early or if possible leave the car at home!! Richmond mainline station is about 30 minutes walk. The course is along the riverside and its pretty much flat the whole way! Remember its all good fun and you can walk, jog or run!!

Please note that the start of the run will be staggered to avoid too much congestion on the towpaths. However this will not affect your time as our Results Base timing team will record your time from when you cross the starting mat.

There will be marshals around the course to support and encourage you.

Please take care when running around the course as this is public land and local residents will be out and about. Please always stay on the left unless otherwise guided.

Water stations can be found at 4km and 7km.

If wearing headphones please make sure you can hear other people around you and marshal instructions.

AFTER THE EVENT

Everyone will receive a medal and there are also a few trophies that are up for grabs.

Results will be displayed on our Results Base Timing screen so after crossing the finish line you can check out your instant results.

These go live to our website and you will receive an email update once the race is over.

Drinks and sweets will be available at the finish line along with any other goodies from our event partners. Ride Skincare will be with us and you can purchase their products on the day.
