SUMMARY:Thames Path 100
DESCRIPTION:The TP100 is a 100-mile continuous trail race along the Thames Path from London to Oxford. Total Climb: 1900 feet. 15th Annual.\nThe 100-mile course is a marked point-to-point race which takes runners from Richmond in South West London to the centre of Oxford. The course follows the meandering route of the Thames against its flow and is flat and fast\, with the majority on groomed paths/ trails and paved pathways. There are some truly stunning sections of the route showing off the best of English riverside scenery and life on the Thames. Held under an official UKA Permit granted through the Trail Running Association (Permit Number Pending). \n\nGeneral Info\n\n\nEntries\nEntries for the 2026 Event open on Saturday May 24th 2024 at 1000. Runners must meet the minimum qualification standard below\, to apply. Volunteers from 2025 get priority free entry prior to general entries going on sale. \nThe Entry fee is £220 (£222 unaffiliated runners). \nRunners may also enter the TP100 as part of the 100 mile Grand Slam. To take part in the Slam\, runners can enter each event individually\, or buy a Grand Slam ticket which gets you entry to all four 100 Mile Slam events. Information on the Grand Slam\, and how to enter it can be found by clicking here. \nEntries are available on a first come first served basis.

Runners will turn left off of the Thames Path just before the Head of the River Pub which looms over the Thames Path from Oxford City Centre\, and turn directly in to the finishing chute in front of the pavilion. We are very privileged to be allowed to finish in the grounds of Oxford University. \nRoute\nThe 2026 race route remains on the Thames Path from the outset until the finish line with one minor deviation to Clifton Hampden aid station on route which will be clearly marked on race day. Diversions in place in 2025 due to structural issues with bridges\, weirs and the paths will all be assessed and factored in for 2026 nearer the time.
