The Richmond Summer Riverside 10k and Half Marathon Run
The event offers two distances along Richmond Riverside, starting and finishing at the Riverside carpark off Ham Street near Ham House. The course runs out and back along the towpath with river views for most of the route and is described as flat and fast.
Distances offered:
- 10 km: out and back once along the riverside towpath.
- Half marathon: out and back twice along the same route.
The surface is a mix of trail and paths so trail shoes are recommended. Off road buggies are allowed but the course is not wheelchair friendly. The route may be altered up to event day if necessary. Marshals are positioned around the course and water stations are provided at about 7 km, 10 km and 17 km for half marathon runners.
Timing is electronic with a chip on the race bib and results are displayed instantly via the timing provider and published online after the race. Participants collect race packs at on site registration on the day. Bag storage is available with limited space. Parking at Ham Street is very limited and Richmond mainline station is a walk along the riverside. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
