Richmond RUNFEST have announced a brand new format for 2021. London’s flattest marathon will return with a new spring date on Saturday 27th March.
There’s a new race coming to Richmond Park next May – the AIR RUN. We know there’s a half and a 10k and we know it involves music, but we don’t know how yet…
It’s the Richmond RUNFEST this weekend and they’ve made some changes to make the weekend more sustainable.
It’s your last chance to enter the Kew Gardens 10k before it sells out! 95% of places in this race, which is part of the Richmond RUNFEST, have now gone! It’s no wonder with Botanic Gardens, a World Heritage Site, decent tech tees for and triangular medals designed to fit together for the finishers. And, it’s flat! The race takes place on 14th September.

It’s been announced that runners at this year’s ‘realbuzz.com Richmond RUNFEST’ raised over £630,000 for charity. Since it started in 2013 this event has now raised over £2m for charities and local community groups.
The 2018 Richmond RUNFEST saw just under 10,000 runners taking part, including the new 5k in Old Deer Park.
Next year’s Richmond RUNFEST will continue to have the 5k, 10k and Kids’ Mile on Saturday 14th September and the Half Marathon, Full Marathon and Family Mile on Sunday 15th September.
