About the race
The Thames 10km is organised by Barnes Fitness and revives a former event known as the O2O 10km. The course starts at Thames Valley Park in Reading and follows sections of Thames Valley Park Nature Reserve and the banks of the River Thames. The route is completely traffic free and is generally flat, with one river bridge that is crossed twice.
A 2 km Kids Fun Run takes place before the main 10 km event. Entry prices range from £7 for the kids run to £26 for the Thames 10km.
Event features include chip timing with results available instantly, well signposted marshalled routes, and on-site first aid. Participants receive an event specific metal medal and there are awards for podium and age group winners. Free event photos are made available to download after the event. Barnes Fitness describes the atmosphere as inclusive and provides knowledgeable marshals to support participants.
