Ranelagh Harriers Richmond half marathon

Running Route

Moderate
21.41 km
44 m
It’s a fast, flat and scenic route that is ideal for a PB. The race starts on Petersham Road, just up from the junction with Star and Garter Hill, and heads initially to Richmond Bridge. Runners cross the bridge joining Richmond Road which they follow into Twickenham before joining the river opposite the famous Eel Pie Island. By Diamond Jubilee Gardens the route leaves the river and follows Cross Deep past Radnor Gardens and then proceeds along Twickenham Road all the way to the left hand turn down Ferry Road near Teddington Lock. The course then heads right along Broom Road which then becomes Lower Teddington Road. The route passes under Kingston Bridge after which it follows Hampton Court Road all the way to Hampton Court Bridge. At the bridge runners turn left onto Barge Walk and then follow the towpath, with views to the left of majestic Hampton Court Palace and the golf club too, back to Kingston Bridge. The course passes under Kingston Bridge a second time and then over it before heading around the back of John Lewis where it rejoins the towpath once more. From there the route passes through Canbury Gardens and it then follows Lower Ham Road passing in front of the main entrance to the Hawker Centre, the site of the former aircraft factory. Runners head left along Dukes Avenue and then left again onto Dysart Avenue before a right turn onto Burnell Avenue. There is then another right turn onto Beaufort Road, a left onto Hardwicke Road before rejoining Dukes Avenue on the left. This leads into Riverside Drive, alongside Ham Lands, with a right hand bend which leads to the finish on grass near the post race HQ, Richmond and Kew FC.
