Event overview

One of South West London’s major running events, the Hampton Court Half Marathon is highly rated as preparation for a spring marathon or a major distance race in its own right. The next race takes place 7 weeks before the Brighton Marathon and 10 weeks before the TCS London Marathon, making it an ideal target race in the training build-up to these events.

Runners enjoy an initial closed road loop around the picturesque village of Thames Ditton, pass through the historic Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames ancient marketplace, follow the iconic 3-mile stretch of the Barge Walk beside the Thames, and reach the magnificent Hampton Court Palace after 10 miles. The route follows closed roads, pavement, pedestrian/cycle track, riverside way, and tarmac paths through parks and is well recognised for its PB potential.

All finishers will receive a top technical t-shirt and a super race medal once over the finish line.
