Run the Richmond Half Marathon with Team Leukaemia Care

Challenge yourself to the Richmond Half Marathon 2026 and be part of one of London's most iconic running weekends.

Starting inside the world-famous Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, this stunning route takes runners through a UNESCO World Heritage Site before heading along scenic riverside roads past the Thames, Richmond Riverside and historic Ham House.

Whether you're taking on your first half marathon or chasing a new personal best, the Richmond Half Marathon offers an unforgettable race-day experience in one of London's most beautiful locations.

Join Team Leukaemia Care with a £30 registration fee and a commitment to raise at least £350 in sponsorship, excluding Gift Aid. Every pound you raise will help us provide vital support, information and advocacy services for people affected by leukaemia and their families.

Why choose the Richmond Half Marathon?

Start your race inside Kew Gardens

Very few running events offer the chance to run through Kew Gardens. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it provides a truly unique backdrop to the start of your race.

A spectacular route

After leaving Kew Gardens, you'll follow scenic roads alongside the River Thames, passing some of southwest London's most famous landmarks before heading to the finish.

Bring your supporters for free

Every runner can invite up to four supporters into Kew Gardens free of charge. With standard admission costing £25 per person, your friends and family could save up to £100 while cheering you on at the start of your race.

Support from Team Leukaemia Care

When you join our team, you'll receive a free running vest, fundraising support and encouragement from our dedicated events team.
