Saturn Running Midweek Medal Madness - Leon's Birthday Run
This is a midweek Time Challenge event organised by Saturn Too Limited, a franchise partner of Saturn Running, at The Last Hop in Staines. The event runs as a seven hour time challenge that gives participants control over the distance they complete. The minimum distance to be an official finisher is 3 km. A full lap is normally 7 km (about 4.37 miles) but the course may be changed to a shorter loop depending on course conditions. Lap counts include three laps for a half marathon, six for a marathon and seven or more for an ultra; a 50 km distance is also available.
The course follows a stretch of the River Thames, is fully signed and is mainly on well made paths and tarmac with a short grass section. Road shoes are suitable. Aid and drinks tables are provided at the start and finish of each lap with a selection of savoury, sweet, fruit, cheese and vegan items. Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a medal and distance pins are awarded for half-marathon distance or greater; pins include Half-Marathon, Mega-Half, Marathon, 50 km and Ultra and are attached to the medal ribbon.
Other practical details: there are toilets at The Last Hop but no separate showers or dedicated changing rooms, unsecured bag drop is available, headphones are allowed, and parking is available at Bridge Street Car Park in Staines. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
