Thames Meander Summer

The Thames Meander Summer is a scenic riverside running event held in Richmond, starting at the Petersham & Ham Sea Scouts HQ. It features three fast, flat, and well-marked out-and-back trail routes along the Thames Path: a 10km (one 6.25-mile lap), a half marathon (two 6.55-mile laps), and a marathon (four 6.55-mile laps). The turnaround points are at Canbury Gardens and near the Boaters Inn Public House in Kingston-upon-Thames.

The course offers beautiful river views and is supported by well-stocked checkpoints and medical teams. Recognized by Runners World as one of the UK's top 10 races, it provides a friendly, well-organized atmosphere for runners of all levels.
