The Richmond Summer Riverside 10k and Half Marathon Run
This event offers two distances:
- 10k
- Half marathon
The course runs along the Richmond riverside from the Riverside carpark off Ham Street toward Kingston and back, finishing near Ham House. The route is an out and back once for the 10k and twice for the half marathon. The surface is a mix of trail and paved paths and is described as flat. Trail shoes are recommended. Off road buggies are allowed but the course is not wheelchair friendly. The course may be altered up to the event day if necessary.
On the day participants collect their race pack at registration. Timing uses a chip on bib system and the start is staggered to reduce congestion on the towpath. Marshals are positioned around the course. Water stations are located at approximately 7 km, 10 km and 17 km for half marathon runners. Bag storage is available but space is limited. Results are displayed via the race timing provider and finish line results are posted and emailed after the event.
All finishers receive a medal and a small number of trophies are awarded. Drinks and sweets are available at the finish. Physio services are present offering sports massage and a discounted assessment option.
Parking at Ham Street is very limited and parking at Ham House is not permitted. Richmond station is a 20 to 30 minute walk along the riverside. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
