It will soon be time for stockings, roasted chestnuts and fairy lights...
But first, it's the Nice Work Richmond Christmas 10k & 5k! One, Two Three...
Get ready to race, Santa-style!


Event Overview:
The races take place within the picturesque setting of one of London's prettiest Royal Parks, the perfect setting for a pacy, traffic-free Sunday morning 10k (or 5k!). The undulating course covers the tracks, trails and footpaths within the park and is suitable for runners of all abilities, with beginners particularly welcome. You will pass around various beautiful sections of the park, including through Sheen Wood and past the Teck Plantation. You will also race passed Bishops Pond and Richmond Gate. You may even be lucky enough to spot one of the many roaming herds of Red or Fallow Deer that have been known to watch the race with very great interest and amusement. 
Remember to dress to impress Santa with a special prize available for the best dressed runner!

Course Details:
The Richmond 10k course is a two lap route covering the paths and trails within the boundaries of Richmond Park with 5k runners completing just one lap.
The route is an undulating course with no significantly testing hills and covers a selection of hard track, tarmac with a small section on grass so it's perfect for a speedy finish and a festive PB!

The course has been measured using a GPS but, because of its multi terrain nature, cannot carry an official course measurement certificate.
