Thames Meander Autumn is a riverside trail running event starting from Small Profit Dock Gardens in Barnes, south-west London, with 10K, Half Marathon and Marathon distances.
All three races follow flat, runnable out and back routes along the Thames Path. The 10K heads across Barnes Bridge towards Kew Gardens before turning near Kew Gardens Car Park. Half Marathon runners continue along the river to Petersham and Ham Sea Scouts before returning to Barnes, while the Marathon completes two laps of the Half Marathon course.
The predominantly flat Thames Path provides fast conditions while retaining the character of a trail race, with extensive riverside scenery through Kew and Richmond. The courses are marked and marshalled, with stocked checkpoints and professional medical support. Race headquarters are at Barnes Sports Club, immediately beside the start and finish in Small Profit Dock Gardens.
