Richmond Half Marathon

We do get around....

Sunday 15th May 2005 was the day of the Richmond half marathon. An early start of 8:30 didn't deter the record 791 entrants who finished the race. Weather conditions and a scenic flat course made it ideal for fast times. The race starts at Ranelagh Harriers club house at Richmond Common, heading down to the town centre and over Richmond bridge before proceeding down the Thames through Twickenham and around Hampton court then over Kingston bridge and up to the finish at Ham House near Richmond.

I enjoyed the first 10 miles but the last three miles were tough as quite a few runners passed me as the early quick pace caught up with me. That said happy with my time of 1:24:27 in 49th place overall.
