Midweek Medal Madness - Birthday Run
This is a timed seven hour Time Challenge organised by Saturn Too Limited, a franchise partner of Saturn Running, held at The Last Hop in Staines. Participants may run any number of laps on a signed loop beside the River Thames; the minimum recorded distance is 3 km.
A full lap is 7 km (4.37 miles) but the course may be changed to a 3.28 mile loop depending on conditions. The lap includes a 3 km turn point and a 5 km turn point to support UK Athletics distance rules. Laps required for set distances are indicated by the organiser; 3 laps equate to a half marathon, 6 laps to a marathon, 7 or more laps to an ultra, and a 50 km option is available.
Distances available include:
- 3 km minimum distance
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half marathon
- Marathon
- 50 km and Ultra options
- Time Challenge entry
The course runs mainly on well made paths and tarmac with a very short grass section; road shoes are suitable year round. Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a medal, and distance pins are awarded for half marathon and longer distances. Finishers receive a goody bag with a vegan option. An aid table and drinks are provided at the start/finish area. Toilets are available at the venue but there are no separate changing rooms or showers. Parking is available at Bridge Street Car Park in Staines. Headphones are allowed. A non secure bag drop is provided at the start/finish.
