About the race
The Kingston Breakfest Run is scheduled for Sunday 7 March 2027 and follows the traditional breakfast run format. The event, presented under the Uber Boat by Thames Clippers title, offers multiple road and towpath distances.
- 8 miles - single lap of the traditional Kingston 8 mile loop
- 16 miles - 16.1 miles with a shorter second circuit
- 20 miles - two laps plus an extra 3.9 miles on the river towpath
The course crosses Kingston and Hampton Court Bridge and runs past Hampton Court Palace. Parts of the route use the Thames towpath. The 8 mile route is the traditional single lap; the longer distances add further circuits and a towpath section for the 20 mile option.
The race is placed in early March, a time often used by runners preparing for spring marathons. The event falls four weeks before the Brighton Marathon, six weeks before the Manchester Marathon, and seven weeks before the London Marathon.
Event provisions listed for the race include a technical t-shirt, a bespoke medal, free finisher photos, designated pacemakers, marshals and sweep marshals, and first aid cover on course. A goody bag with post race snacks and drink is provided. The Kingston Breakfest Run has been held annually since 1998; in 2026, 1,469 runners finished the race.
