Route information
Explore the stunning Richmond Park this January, taking in the scenery as you run on a mixture of paths and cross-country sections.
The course begins with a gradual incline for the first 2ks. It has plenty of fast sections, but also has a few hills to challenge runners.
The terrain will vary between trails and paths, so trail shoes are strongly recommended for this event.
All distances follow the same lapped course, with runners completing different amounts of laps:
- 5k - 1 lap
- 10k - 2 laps
- Half Marathon 4 laps
Runners are encouraged to go at their own pace so feel free to walk, jog or run.
Please take care when running around the course as this is public land and local residents will be in the Park. Runners should also be aware that there are deer in the Park and they occasionally cross the walking paths and roads.
