RunThrough Richmond Park Half Marathon 2026

About this race

The RunThrough Richmond Park Half Marathon 2026, scheduled for February 15th, 2026, invites runners to experience a picturesque race within the stunning environs of Richmond Park, Surrey. Organized by RunThrough Events, this race is a popular fixture in the running calendar. While specific historical details for the 2026 iteration are not yet available, RunThrough Events typically hosts well-organized races with a focus on participant experience. Runners can anticipate a challenging yet rewarding 13.1-mile course within one of London's largest Royal Parks, offering a chance to potentially spot some of the park's famous deer. Participants should prepare for a predominantly off-road experience. The terrain within Richmond Park is characterized by a mix of paved paths, gravel trails, and potentially some muddy sections, especially in February. Expect undulating terrain with rolling hills rather than flat, fast sections. The weather in mid-February in the UK can be unpredictable, so runners should be prepared for cool temperatures, potential wind, and possibly rain. The unique natural beauty and the sense of escape from the city are significant draws, making it a scenic half marathon for those who enjoy trail running or a more natural race environment.
