Kingston Break-fest Run 2027
Following the "breakfast run" format, the Kingston Break-fest Run returns on Sunday 7 March 2027 in Kingston upon Thames. The event offers multiple road and towpath distances that pass sections of the Thames towpath and run past Hampton Court Palace. The race in Kingston was formerly known as the Kingston Spring Race Day and uses the traditional Kingston 8 mile loop.
Distances:
- 8 miles - single lap Kingston loop.
- 16 miles - single lap plus a shorter second circuit (total ~16.1 miles).
- 20 miles - two laps plus an additional 3.9 miles on the river towpath.
The event is positioned in the spring marathon calendar: it falls four weeks before the Brighton Marathon, six weeks before the Manchester Marathon, and seven weeks before the London Marathon. Event provisions listed by the organiser include a technical T-shirt, a bespoke medal, free finisher photos, pace makers, marshals and sweep marshals, and first aid coverage along the course. Participants receive a goody bag with post-race snacks and drink.
The Kingston Breakfast Run has been held annually since 1998. In 2026, 1,469 runners finished the race. The route combines town streets, the Thames towpath, and views near Hampton Court Palace. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
