      I run the Towpath every week, but there's an extra level of fun in making it a race. Also, there-and-back races are great to wave to your friends on the other side of the course.

      Nothing against Old Deer Park (shoutout to parkrun friends!), but I definitely didn't need to start a race with 2.5 laps around that grass field.

      If you live near Richmond / ODP and want to spice up your Sunday long run, this is a fun and friendly way to do it.

      The Kew section of the towpath might be a bit lumpy, but it still doesn’t merit trail shoes.
