Richmond Park April Runs
The Richmond Park April event offers a selection of distances within the grounds of London's Richmond Park. Participants can choose between three different distance options:
- 5 km (one lap)
- 10 km (two laps)
- Half Marathon (four laps)
The course features a mix of terrain, including country paths, trail sections, and some grass. The route includes a gradual incline during the first 2 km and is described as undulating. Due to the nature of the surface, trail shoes are recommended. The start of the run is staggered to comply with local park policy, with chip timing recording the duration from the moment the starting mat is crossed.
The event hub is located on the grass area next to the East Sheen Gate carpark. Facilities at the site include limited bag storage and water stations situated at the start, finish, and the 5 km mark. Results are updated live during the event and can be viewed at the timing tent or online.
All finishers receive a medal, and trophies are awarded to the overall winners of each distance category. The event is open to various participants; off-road buggies and dogs on short leads are permitted on the course. While the park remains open to the general public during the races, marshals are positioned along the route to provide guidance and support.
The park is accessible by car via the East Sheen Gate, though parking spaces are limited. For those using public transport, Mortlake station is approximately a 10-minute walk from the Sheen entrance, while Richmond station is about a 20-30 minute walk away.
