Black Knight Historical News

Latest news from the team!

-some history we’ve been recreating recently!

Tudor racers! On the starting grid for the Hampton Court Half Marathon 2019

A regular event in the Black Knight calendar, every February, with 4000 excited and very fit runners setting off for a fast 13 miler around the streets of Kingston and passing us at 10 miles outside Hampton Court palace. Many runners report the highlight of the race is getting a royal high-five from H8 himself!

Even the Queen gets excitable!

Queen Anne Boleyn outside Hampton Court Queen Anne Boleyn encourages the runners outside the Palace!

“Home in time for tea and medals”…
