Ranelagh Harriers Richmond Half Marathon

Ranelagh Harriers events aren't ordinary races; they are a celebration of the rich history and tradition of our running club. Since 1881, our members have been instrumental in establishing some globally-iconic running events:

• 1895: we organised the inaugural English athletics relay
• 1981: club members Chris Brasher and John Disley created and organised the London Marathon 
• 2004: club member Paul Sinton-Hewitt founded parkrun

We are proud of our legacy and we'd like to invite you to be a part of it, whether you're a seasoned runner or a beginner. 

The course takes runners from Richmond, through to Twickenham down to Hampton Court Bridge and back up along the Thames towpath to Ham. 

• Roads will not be closed to traffic. While running you must keep to the left-hand side of the road, run on the pavement where possible, and observe the Highway Code.
• Unfortunately the course is not suitable for wheelchairs. Blind or partially sighted runners may be accompanied. All other runners must not be accompanied or followed by non-race participants (eg a runner or bicycle).
• Dogs, except where an exemption has been granted by the Race Director for a medical assistance dog, are not permitted.
• UK Athletics rules do not permit buggies, pushchairs or similar. Headphones and earphones are also not allowed under the rules.
