The races take place within the picturesque setting of one of London's prettiest Royal Parks, the perfect setting for a pacy, traffic-free Sunday morning 10k (or 5k!). The undulating course covers the tracks, trails and footpaths within the park and is suitable for runners of all abilities, with beginners particularly welcome. You will pass around various beautiful sections of the park, including through Sheen Wood and past the Teck Plantation. You will also race passed Bishops Pond and Richmond Gate. You may even be lucky enough to spot one of the many roaming herds of Red or Fallow Deer that have been known to watch the race with very great interest and amusement. Remember to dress to impress Santa with a special prize available for the best dressed runner!
The route is an undulating course with no significantly testing hills and covers a selection of hard track, tarmac with a small section on grass so it's perfect for a speedy finish and a festive PB!
