Great event and highly recommended. Very well organised. There were clear, detailed and timely communications. On the day there was ample signage and a marshall on every junction. A generous swag bag at end and a well designed medal and T-shirt. As a bonus for those who arrive by car the car park is only a 5 minute walk from the start and with the organisers discount code less than £10 for all day.

The Richmond/ Windsor/ Worthing RUN-FEST and Kew The Run is organised by RUNFEST LTD (Company Reg No. 08521533). The aim is to organise a fun local event involving the whole family and the local community. We have been organising the Richmond Runfest for 14 years and we organised the British Olympic Marathon Trials. From the outset, the event has looked to incorporate all the wonderful examples we have witnessed from all corners of the running world. At RUN-FEST we do not like to use the word 'NO' and look to incorporate as many peoples ideas and inspiration as possible. We started this event as a blank canvas and continue to add pencil thin structure and lots of colour to it as we go along. We hope this is just the start of a wonderful journey for the RUN-FEST team and hope to include many people from the running community. If you have any colour that you think will look good on the canvas and want to get involved then please get in touch and help us achieve something different!
