Lace up and get into the festive spirit at the 2025 Festive Fun River Run, brought to you by Fulham Reach Boat Club. Open to everyone, from local runners to those keen to explore the neighbourhood in a joyful, active way.
Sign up via Fulham Reach Boat Club's website here.
This flat, scenic route takes you along the Thames between Hammersmith and Putney bridges, passing by us at Fulham Pier and other great spots along the river. Suit up in tinsel, antlers, or your jolliest Christmas outfit and run, jog, walk, or simply stroll part of the world-famous Boat Race course. The route is just under 7km, untimed, and suitable for all ages and abilities—including toddlers and dogs! Starting and finishing at Riverside Studios, participants will enjoy free pre- and post-run refreshments, festive music, and finisher medals. Prizes will be awarded for the most festive adult, child, toddler, and dog, as well as the first adult and child to cross the finish line.
On this special occasion, all participants will also receive a free £5 voucher to spend at their leisure at Riverside Market.
All profit proceeds are in aid of Fulham Reach Boat Club's charitable Youth, Crime Reduction and Accessible rowing work enabling people to improve their lives through the power of sport. Hear more about FRBC's projects here.
