Richmond Park Half Marathon, 10K and 5K - October

About this event

Richmond Park provides the backdrop for this October road event, offering runners three distance options: 5K, 10K, and half marathon. The courses loop through one of London's most celebrated green spaces, where ancient oaks and open grasslands create a surprisingly wild setting just minutes from the city centre. Runners might spot deer grazing in the distance while ticking off laps — one for the 5K, two for the 10K, and four for the half marathon. The fully chip-timed format keeps things organized, while post-race medals, snacks and drinks round out the experience. It's a well-established event that combines accessible urban location with genuine parkland atmosphere.
