All three race distances are very fast, flat on a runnable route proceeding all along the Thames Path, and the course is very well marked and marshalled all the way along.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cancellation/refund policy for this event?
Our entries are non refundable and non transferable, including cancellation in the event of circumstances that may arise beyond our control.
How difficult is the course?
The majority of the course 99% is flat / fast and is run along the Thames Path out / back. The conditions are weather dependant though it’s mainly a firm running surface, I would highly recommend road shoes for this course. The turnaround point for the half and marathon at the Isleworth Eyot will also be very well marshalled. Please ensure that move out of the way of your fellow runners if you stop to re-fuel to avoid any congestion occurring at the check points and please pay particular attention to our marshals on the route, especially at the turnaround point.
What food/drink will we get at the checkpoints?
The 3 check points will all have a selection of food / drinks including High 5 Gels & bars, High 5 Electrolytes, crisps, fruit cordial and water.I would also highly recommend that you bring a hydration pack or a 500 ml water bottle so that you can carry your own electrolyte drinks in a bladder or bottle and to ensure you can carry electrolytes and any food that you’ll need for your race. You will be able to re-supply with nutrition at the all these check points and therefore be more self-sufficient.
How will the course be marked?
We will be marking the course with fixed Hermes Running pink / black chevron signage throughout the run-route, and there will be marshals at the check points and at the turnaround point on the Thames Path opposite to the Barnes Sports Club. Our marshals and will be located at this turnaround point for the half marathon and marathon, so please pay special attention if you are wearing MP3’s, there will also be a Hermes Running turnaround A Frame billboard at this turnaround point.
Cut-off times
The time limit for the Marathon course is 6.5hrs. The time limit for the Half Marathon is 6hrs. The time limit for the 10KM is 2hrs.
