GoFundMe Richmond RUN-FEST
London, United Kingdom · Friday 1 October 2027
The GoFundMe Richmond RUN-FEST takes place in October 2026 across a flat to gently rolling trail course in London, making it a solid choice if you want to avoid steep climbing while still getting some variety underfoot. At 42.2km on trail, you'll be trading road miles for a more technical surface, so arrive with appropriate footwear and expect your legs to work differently than they would on pavement. The elevation is negligible with only minor undulation throughout, which means you can focus your effort on pace rather than grinding out hills, though the trail itself will demand attention and will likely slow your splits compared to road racing. Check the race website at for details on course markings, aid station placement, and any specific trail conditions unique to the Richmond area. This is the kind of marathon where fitness alone won't guarantee a smooth day, so practise your trail running technique and get some miles on similar surfaces before race day.
