About the Richmond RUN-FEST

Richmond RUN-FEST is a multi-race running festival held in Richmond upon Thames in southwest London. The event weekend features several distances, including the Richmond Marathon, half marathon, 10K, and family-focused races, attracting runners of all abilities to one of London’s most scenic running locations. The festival is centred around Richmond and the River Thames, with routes that typically incorporate riverside paths, Richmond Park, and surrounding roads. Participants can expect a mix of urban scenery, open green spaces, and gently undulating terrain, particularly through the park sections. The combination of central London accessibility and large natural spaces gives the event a distinctive atmosphere compared with many city races. Richmond RUN-FEST has become a well-known fixture on the UK autumn running calendar, drawing both local runners and visitors travelling to London for the weekend. The event format allows runners across multiple distances to take part on the same weekend, contributing to a busy race-day atmosphere throughout Richmond and the surrounding area.
