Location: Battersea, England

This half marathon distance run starts at Albert Bridge and follows the Thames Path west, taking in Wandsworth, Putney, and Barnes before returning. It's a journey along the river making for a gently undulating run with a slight net uphill bias.

Underfoot, expect a roughly even mix of paved and off-road surfaces as you trace the river's edge. The route is largely traffic-free, with only three road crossings to navigate. This is a good option for a longer run along the iconic Thames.
