Saturn 7 Hour Time Challenge - Staines upon Thames
This is a seven hour time challenge held by Saturn Running on a signed loop beside the River Thames at The Last Hop, Unit 2, Thames Edge Court, Clarence Street, Staines, TW18 4SU. Runners choose their own distance within the event limits; the minimum official finishing distance is 3 km.
The course is mainly well made paths and tarmac with a very short grass section, and is described as suitable for road shoes. The regular lap measures 7 km (4.37 miles) but may be altered to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions and a health and safety review. There are 3k and 5k turn points within the lap to support UK Athletics age rules.
Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a sloth medal and a goody bag; a vegan goody bag option is available. Distance pins are awarded for half-marathon and longer distances, including Half-Marathon, Mega-Half, Marathon, 50 km and Ultra, with one pin added to the medal ribbon to reflect the achievement. Aid and drinks tables are provided at the start/finish of each lap with a selection of snacks and vegan options. Toilets and changing facilities are available at the venue and there is a non-secure bag drop area.
Event limits and rules include a minimum age of 12 years, a maximum of 300 entrants, and an age restriction requiring participants over 45 km to be 20 years old or older; 18 and 19 year olds may run up to 45 km only. Entries close 13/03/2026. Transfers and deferrals are available under the organiser terms and fees. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
