The Richmond RUNFEST Marathon takes you on a tour of beautiful Richmond, London's greenest borough. The run starts in Kew Gardens and takes in three famous bridges, two Royal Palaces, and incredible views of the Thames from the towpath.
Take on the Richmond RUNFEST Marathon and get ready to feel the exhilaration and the exhaustion of a challenging run. And as you cross the finish line, you'll feel sublime, knowing you're helping people living with dementia.
