Thames Path Challenge

12-13 September 2026

Event details

Challenge yourself and take in the incredible riverside scenery along the Thames Path. From historic towns and iconic landmarks to peaceful stretches of towpath through beautiful countryside, every route offers a new perspective on England’s most iconic river.

With a range of distances from 10km to 100km, there’s a challenge for everyone. Take part solo or team up with friends and family, and choose to walk, jog or run your way to the finish line. Starting from Putney Bridge, you’ll travel alongside the River Thames through towns like Richmond, Runnymede, and Marlow, and past Hampton Court Palace, Windsor Castle and many more great sights.

You'll be well-supported with snacks, drinks, and hot meals along the way, as well as medical and welfare support. They'll keep you fit and fuelled all the way to the finish line, where a well-deserved glass of fizz awaits!

How we'll support you

  • We'll send you a free Parkinson's UK breathable running top. 
  • You'll have access to expert training and fundraising advice.
  • We'll send you a welcome pack and fundraising materials.
  • You'll get regular email updates and invitations to our social media groups.
