Route information
The route takes runners around the incredibly scenic Richmond Park on a mix of country paths and cross-country sections. There are many fast sections but there are a few hills thrown in, so ensure you set your pace in anticipation of these climbs.
The 5k is one lap, the 10k is two and the half marathon is 4 laps.
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.

Challenging to get to because of travel issues.Sooooo cold! A little more gritting of the icy route would have helped.Beautiful place to run though.

Snowy paths, lots of dogs around (nearly tripped me) and many others on the limited path space.

This was my first half marathon and I really enjoyed it!! The organisation was great, the people were lovely! My only suggestion would be to place some music 30 mins or so before the race to help get everyone pumped 😋
