The ASICS Kingston Running Festival is an endurance running event covering
the distances of 16 miles or 8.2 miles. The scenic run loop is extremely flat
and takes place in Kingston, Surrey. The route follows the Thames Towpath, taking
in Hampton Court Palace and Thames Ditton before returning to Kingston Town Centre.
The 16 mile distance is perfect for those preparing for the New York Marathon
some three weeks later. There will be accurate mile markers on a very flat course
which is ideal for pace judgement for your big day.
The race is based in the heart of Kingston Town Centre starting and finishing
in the Ancient Market Place. If you don't know where Kingston upon Thames is,

NEW FOR 2007: For those of a more technical nature we've plotted the course
onto Google Earth: RIGHT CLICK this link to download and save the map

This is a great opportunity to do an early morning run and then meet your partner
afterwards for breakfast before embarking on some endurance shopping!
