WHY RUN RICHMOND - Richmond Running Festival

5 reasons to Run Richmond

1. BLING IT ON!

As an event we like to be different and so should your hard earned medals! Introducing the 3rd edition to the 6 year medal series for 2016: Royal Richmond Bridge with additional bottle opener!

2. KEW GARDENS!

The last mass participation running event to run in Kew Gardens was over a decade ago! How many events start in a World Heritage Site? In fact we believe this is the most beautiful start of any running race in Europe! Both events run 2.5 miles in the most beautiful gardens in London.

3. NIKE TECH T-SHIRT

Have you seen the technical tee shirt NIKE have provided you? This is a running tee shirt that you will actually wear again! 2017 design to be released soon...!

4. 10% local charity donation

10% of your entry fee is split between local charities and local donations. This years official charities of the year are Macmillan Cancer Support and the Kew Foundation.

5. A FREE BEER AND MUSIC FESTIVAL!

Our local beer provider FULLERS agree that your achievements should be celebrated at our festival over a nice beer. We have got local shops and restaurants offering their goodies as well as the best bands in the Borough.

At Richmond RUNFEST we believe in health and fitness but we also know when to reward ourselves! Join us on September 18th at the start line in Kew Gardens, or meet us at the finish in Old Deer Park.
