10 Km Route – Chiswick & Hammersmith Bridge Eight
This figure of 8 loop forms a perfect 10 km running route and is another flat, largely traffic free, riverside run. Barnes Bridge is as good place to start this run as it has useful transport links – use either the mainline train or bus numbers 419 or 209 from Hammersmith.
Take the river trail from Barnes Bridge, along the southside of the Thames, passing the brewery at Mortlake just before heading over Chiswick Bridge.
Now on the north side of the Thames, run back along the river path to Barnes Bridge, cross back onto the south bank and run along the river towards Hammersmith Bridge.
Crossing Hammersmith Bridge, you can then run back along the north side, through Furnival gardens and along the swanky Chiswick riverside streets.
This run forms the foundation of a marathon training schedule as it can be easily extended for the weekend long run.

Run this regularly, stumbled across the image on google. Great run, rather covered tow paths when dark though, but lovely in the summer and often busy with walkers, bikes and runners. Can add in Castlenau and cut through Barnes to extend it.
