Get charity placeAn all round amazing event. How often are you allowed to run around Kew Gardens? The venue is fab, marshals are wonderful - singing, dancing, drumming, acting, hi-fives, shoutouts over the microphone, charity stalls cheering - you name it they do it! Not a single complaint about the route, something for everyone. Stunning stunning stunning. Leanne S
I’ve done this race three times in a row now and love it more each time. Organisation and crowd support is second-to-none, fantastic atmosphere the whole way around and wonderful happy volunteers at the end. It’s not a cheap race but it is good value for money when you consider the top quality Nike T-shirt and fab medal in the goody bag and, the best thing, that you can bring spectators in with you and you can stay as long as you like in Kew Gardens after the race.

Great flat 10km inside Kew gardens. Well organised and excellent atmosphere on the way round. Highly recommend. Alex D
This is a beautiful (flat) run, in the most unbelievable surroundings. I will definitely be signing up again next year! Georgina S
Kew Gardens is a beautiful setting for a run as the gardens are always stunningly kept. It was lovely to run past the famous greenhouse conservatory. The whole run was on paths within the grounds. Riaz H
A really nice race in an interesting and scenic location. Organisation was good, finishers pack was amazing (loved the Cadburys creme egg), great medal... a very enjoyable morning and a real selling point that you can stay in the gardens after the race. Rebecca C
