Saturn Too Midweek Medal Madness Run birthday edition
This is a 7 hour time challenge held on Friday 29 May 2026 at The Last Hop, Thames Edge Court, Clarence Street, Staines, TW18 4SU. Runners choose how far to go within the time limit; the minimum recognised finisher distance is 3 km. A full lap measures about 7 km (4.37 miles) though the course may be changed to a shorter loop depending on conditions. The lap includes 3 km and 5 km turn points to support younger competitors and compliance with UK Athletics distance rules.
Distances expressed in laps include three laps for a half marathon, six for a marathon and seven or more for an ultra. A 50 km option is also available. Age rules apply for long distances: anyone wishing to run over 45 km must be 20 years or older; 18 and 19 year olds may run up to 45 km. Minimum entry age is 12 years.
The course follows a stretch of the River Thames and is fully signed. Surfaces are mainly well made paths and tarmac with a brief grass section; road shoes are suitable. The course layout is subject to a final health and safety review.
Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a themed medal and a goody bag, with a vegan option available. Distance pins are issued for half marathon and above. An aid table and drinks are provided at the start and finish of each lap. Toilets, changing facilities and a non secure bag drop are available at the venue and parking is at Bridge Street Car Park TW18 4TP.
Entries are limited to 300 and close on 28/05/2026. Transfers and deferrals are permitted under the organiser terms and fees. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
