Route description
Route description
The 8 mile runners will complete one lap of the famous “Kingston Loop”, while the 16 and 20 milers will complete it twice. The 20 mile course then takes in a final 4 miles following the river out to North Kingston.
Starting in the famous Ancient Market Place, runners will cross over Kingston Bridge and head up the iconic three mile stretch of the Barge Walk beside the Thames. The race then reaches the magnificent Hampton Court Palace before continuing through Thames Ditton and back towards Kingston Market Place. Here is the finish for all distances.
This fast, flat course on good running surfaces gives excellent opportunities for a quick time and potential PB.
Schedule:
0700: Arrive at the race start
0800: First wave of runners begin
0820: All runners will have started
The race cut off times are:
8 Mile: 1hr 50
16 mile: 3hrs 45
20 mile: 4hrs 30
All races will start at the same time with runners grouped in waves according to their predicted pace. The first wave of runners (those anticipating running at sub 8mm) will start at 08:00. All runners will start by 08:20.
*Please be realistic about your expected finish time to ensure you start at the right time.
The race is chip timed which means that your actual running time (the time from when you cross the start line to the finish line) is accurately recorded.
