Ranelagh Harriers Richmond Half Marathon

Ranelagh Harriers events aren't ordinary races; they are a celebration of the rich history and tradition of the running club. Since 1881, members have been instrumental in establishing some globally-iconic running events:

• 1895: organised the inaugural English athletics relay
• 1981: club members Chris Brasher and John Disley created and organised the London Marathon 
• 2004: club member Paul Sinton-Hewitt founded parkrun

The club is proud of its legacy and would like to invite you to be a part of it, whether you're a seasoned runner or a beginner. 

The Ranelagh Half Marathon is a fast and flat course starting from Ham, through to Richmond and Twickenham via the Thames Towpath, down to Kingston Bridge and back up into Ham.

• Roads will not be closed to traffic. While running you must keep to the left-hand side of the road, run on the pavement where possible, and observe the Highway Code. 
• Due to this, there is a 3 hour cut-off time from when the race starts. Ranelagh Harriers are an inclusive club and welcomes runners of all levels. If you are unlikely to finish within the cut off you are advised to get in touch.
• Unfortunately the course is not suitable for wheelchairs. Blind or partially sighted runners may be accompanied. All other runners must not be accompanied or followed by non-race participants (eg a runner or bicycle).
• Dogs, except where an exemption has been granted by the Race Director for a medical assistance dog, are not permitted.
• UK Athletics rules do not permit buggies, pushchairs or similar. Headphones and earphones are also not allowed under the rules.
