Saturn 7 Hour Time Challenge
The Saturn 7 Hour Time Challenge, known as The Racoon Rocket Run, takes place in Staines along a scenic stretch of the River Thames. Participants run laps of a 4.37-mile (7km) mostly paved and well-marked course, with options to adjust distance for younger runners. The event welcomes all abilities, including walkers, and offers flexible distances from a minimum 3km up to ultra distances beyond 50km.
Runners enjoy a supportive atmosphere with a well-stocked aid station featuring drinks and snacks, including vegan options. Finishers receive a racoon-themed medal and goody bag, with special distance pins for half marathon and longer achievements. Facilities include toilets, changing rooms, and parking nearby.
