How can I take part?
- Register your donation here – all funds go to NZ Red Cross.
- Join us at 10 am at the Sheen Gate entrance of Richmond Park on Sunday 13th March
- Wear Red and Black on the day!
How do I get to Richmond Park?
We’ll be following part of the Tamsin Trail around Richmond Park and the Start Line will be at the Sheen Gate Carpark. The nearest postcode is SW14 8BJ. Please note this is not exact but should give you a close enough location. Sheen Lane is the street that takes you directly into the park.
There is carparking and toilets are situated on the right immediately as you enter the Park. Please note the carpark has limited space as this is open to the public. If possible please leave the car at home or park before coming in to Sheen Gate.
Closest Station: Mortlake Rail is about a 15 min walk away. Richmond mainline station is about 30-40 minutes walk. Bus Routes: 33 . 337 . 493
Please consult the detailed map for your best route there.
How long will it take?
Your time will depend on your fitness level – if you are reasonably fit and run at a steady pace the whole way then it should take somewhere between 30-50 mins. If you walk the route, then plan for a couple of hours. The course is a mix of country paths, a little bit of cross country which is slightly undulating. Remember its all good fun and you can walk, jog or run – just go at your own pace!
This is awesome but I’m not in London, can I still take part?
Absolutely! This is a virtual worldwide fun run – you can do it anywhere anytime. If you would like to take part, just visit the Run4Chch Website for info on how to donate and take part on the 12/13 March in your corner of the world. As I’ll be organising on Sunday – I will be completing my 5km the day before on the treadmill at my local gym with as many members as I can convince to join me!
There are group runs taking place all over the world on the 12/13th March. Check the website to see if anyone is running in your town.
How can I spread the word?
- There is an event page on Facebook that you can direct people to.
- You can follow the team on Twitter and Facebook.
- And you know, talk to people. In person.

Fantastic Sas! Keep up the good work! :)
Is that cicadas I hear in the background of RNZ…?
They certainly weren’t chirping at midnight in London.

Thanks again for organising the Run for ChCh event in Richmond Park this morning. It was good to raise money and share this with other Kiwis and friends.
