Richmond Half Marathon Autumn - Old Deer Park, Richmond Upon Thames TW9 2SF
RunUk stages the Richmond Half Marathon Autumn at Old Deer Park in Richmond upon Thames. The event includes multiple race distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
The course runs largely alongside the River Thames. The event uses chip timing so finishing times are recorded electronically and results are posted immediately after runners cross the line. All finishers receive a medal and post-race refreshments that include water, juices, fruit and a chocolate bar. A free baggage drop area is provided and will be cordoned off; participants are advised not to leave valuables in this area.
The event is accessible by car and public transport, with Old Deer Park car park located opposite the start area. Toilets are provided at the start and finish area. An official race photographer will be present on the course and a medical team will be stationed at the start area. A short pre-race warm up is scheduled about ten minutes before the race start.
The Richmond Half Marathon works with Kingston Hospital Charity as its official charity partner in celebration of the NHS anniversary. Event rules prohibit the use of standard headphones; only bone conducting headphones are permitted under the stated regulations.
Some participant feedback has noted strong marshalling and signposting, and has also highlighted issues with toilet queues and limited facilities on the route. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
