2026 Richmond RUN-FEST Marathon
Flat, fast point-to-point Thames-side marathon from Kew Gardens past Hampton Court Palace, Sep 13, 2026. EA-certified, +160m, Boston and London Good-for-Age qualifier, 6.5-hour limit.
Come for the medal, stay for the riverside: this September route strings together Richmond's leafy parks, Hampton Court's Tudor grandeur, and Kingston's market-town bustle, all along the Thames towpath. Afterward, treat yourself to a pint at a riverside pub in Richmond or a cream tea in Kew, while the mild early-autumn air makes for a comfortable, scenic run.
Event Details
160m
Every finisher receives a medal at the line plus a personalised medal insert printed with their name and finish time, posted out about two weeks later.
The route hugs the River Thames past Ham House, Richmond Green, Teddington Lock, Kingston Riverside and Hampton Court Palace, crossing three bridges before finishing in Old Deer Park, Richmond. It is a point-to-point riverside route along the towpath, which makes it both scenic and easy for spectators to reach by train.
