The ASICS RunKingston 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, try this location map from streetmap.co.uk

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 data (This is NOT a web page, you need to download the file and then open it in Google Earth.) [If you don't have Google Earth, get a copy here!]
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!
