Kingston Break-fest 20 Mile Run

Kingston Break-fest 20 Mile Run - Sunday 7th March 2027

OUR NEXT KINGSTON RACE IS KINGSTON HALF MARATHON, 4TH OCTOBER.

The Kingston Breakfest 20mile Run returns on Sunday 7^th March 2027 offering distances of 8 miles, 16 miles & 20 miles. The traditional Kingston 8.2 mile loop is a single lap with the 16.1 mile runners completing a second circuit, and the 20 milers following two laps plus an additional 3.9 miles on the river tow path and Canbury Gardens.

The date is ideal for those runners preparing for a 2027 spring marathon…

4 weeks before Brighton Marathon

6 weeks before Manchester Marathon

7 weeks before London Marathon

The start and finish are both within Kingston’s famous historic ancient Market Place providing an exciting start and an atmospheric finish, with plenty of stalls offering a variety of foods, and many local restaurants and pubs for those looking for more leisurely post race relaxation. Organised by River Thames Running, you can be sure of a professional setup with plenty of friendly and experienced marshals to guide you safely around the course.

“I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the Kingston Break-fest run on Sunday. I ran the 20 miler and I had the best time. It was such a well organised race with friendly volunteers and a really great atmosphere more widely. That kind of culture comes from the organisers ultimately and I just wanted to to say how grateful I am for all the hard work and energy that all of you have put into the event. Thanks so much!” – Nick
