Hampton Court Palace Running Festival Presented by Voltarol October 2026

The Hampton Court Palace Running Festival, presented by Voltarol, is an autumn race morning held at Hampton Court Palace, featuring both a 10K and a half marathon that commence at 9:00 am. The courses follow a multi-terrain route through the palace grounds and alongside riverside paths, offering participants a blend of surfaces instead of a standard road circuit. The route utilizes public paths, meaning runners might encounter pedestrians and cyclists in certain sections. Distance markers are placed at each kilometre, marshals oversee shared areas and direct participants to the finish, and race entry includes chip timing, official race photos, post-race refreshments, and a themed medal.
