Richmond 10K Entry, Date & Race Guide

The Richmond RUN-FEST 10K is a well-established road race held in Richmond upon Thames, featuring a scenic route through parts of Richmond and Kew in South West London. The course combines riverside stretches, tree-lined roads, and parkland scenery, giving the event a distinctive atmosphere compared with more urban city-centre 10Ks. Its generally flat profile also makes it attractive to runners targeting quicker times over the distance.

As part of the wider Richmond RUN-FEST weekend, the race benefits from experienced organisation and a lively event environment. The 10K attracts a broad field ranging from first-time runners to experienced club athletes, creating a competitive but inclusive feel throughout the event. Closed roads, chip timing, and well-managed runner facilities contribute to its strong reputation on the UK running calendar.

The event’s location in Richmond upon Thames adds to its appeal, with the surrounding area known for its green spaces, riverside setting, and accessibility from central London. The Richmond RUN-FEST 10K has become a recognised autumn race for runners seeking a combination of fast racing conditions, scenic surroundings, and a professionally delivered race-day experience.
