About the Event

Discover a serene running experience along the picturesque River Thames at the Walton on Thames Race. This scenic event invites runners to traverse the gentle waterside path, offering stunning views of historic landmarks like Hampton Court Palace as you loop back and forth between Walton and Hampton.
Participants can choose from two distance options: a half marathon covering 4 laps for a total of 21 kilometers (13 miles), or a full marathon with 8 laps over an impressive 42.2 kilometers (26.2 miles). Both routes are meticulously measured and certified by the UK Athletics, ensuring accuracy and fairness.
The course itself is entirely off-road, following the riverside towpath which remains consistently flat throughout its entirety. This makes for a smooth, swift run where runners can focus on their pace rather than navigating challenging terrain.
Medals are awarded to all finishers, celebrating your achievement as you complete this unique journey along one of England's most iconic waterways.
With limited spots available, early entry is recommended to secure your place in what promises to be a tranquil and memorable race day experience.
Join the Walton on Thames Race for an unforgettable run through history and natural beauty.
