The MTC Richmond Ultra is a point-to-point ultra running event covering 33 miles. Total ascent is listed as 105 m and total descent as 109 m. The race starts in Kingston (Travelodge Kingston, KT1 2PD) and finishes at the Thames Barrier. Entry is charged at £80 per person; deposits and payments are non-refundable. Entrants must be at least 20 years old on the race day. Competitors must arrange their own transport to the start and from the finish.
Route, checkpoints and rules
The route follows the Thames and passes many river landmarks and bridges before finishing at the Thames Barrier. There are two check-points on the course. Check-points provide water and basic nutrition; example items may include malt loaf, cake, sandwiches, sweets, squash, cola and water. Organisers say they will endeavour to cater for Gluten Free, Vegan and Vegetarian needs; other dietary needs must be provided by the competitor or left in drop bags at check-points. Competitors must carry mandatory kit such as a GPX device or downloaded route/maps and a mobile phone. Athletes must maintain an average speed of at least 4.0 mph; failure to meet minimum pace will result in removal from the race. Check-point closure times are listed relative to the race start: CP1 at 3h10m, CP2 at 5h45m and finish at 7h55m. All finishers receive a bespoke Richmond Ultra medal; organisers also provide a technical t-shirt, mug or hat on completion. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
