EVENT DETAILS
The course will take you out and down the river towards Richmond, turning on to Old Deer Park and then heading back along the river to finish at Kew Green! Remember it’s all good fun and you can walk, jog or run!! Please note the course may be altered prior to the event and if so we will inform you of this.
Please note that the start of the run will be staggered. However this will not affect your time as our race timing system will record your time from when you cross the starting mat. However if you are in it to win, then we suggest you start in one of the front groups as placings are based on gun time. 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 on the towpaths and in the Park. Results will be displayed on our race timing screen so after crossing the finish line you can check out your time!! Drinks and fruit will be available at the finish line.
