The Thames Meander - Autumn is a flat riverside race series in Richmond, commencing and concluding at the Petersham & Ham Sea Scouts HQ on Petersham Road. Participants can select from 10km, half marathon, or marathon distances, with all three utilizing the Thames Path towpath for out-and-back courses.

Marshals are stationed along the course and at turnaround points. Checkpoints provide gels, drinks, electrolyte powders, and high-energy food. KLP Medics are present at the start/finish and Kew Gardens Car Park.
