Saturn Will Run For Ice Cream 2026 - Staines-upon-Thames
This is a seven hour time challenge that lets participants choose how many laps to run. The minimum recorded distance for an official finish is 3 km. A full lap is listed as 7 km (4.37 miles) but may be changed to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions. The event provides 3k and 5k turn points within the lap to help younger runners meet UK Athletics distance rules.
Course details note a route along a stretch of the River Thames. The route is fully signed and mainly on well made paths and tarmac with a very short grass section. Road shoes are suitable year round.
Medals are awarded to anyone who completes at least 3 km. Finishers receive a goody bag with a vegan goody bag option available. Distance pins are issued for half-marathon, mega-half, marathon, 50km and ultra achievements and one relevant pin is attached to the medal ribbon.
An aid and drinks table is positioned at the start/finish area for each lap offering savoury, sweet, fruit, cheese and vegan items. Toilets and changing facilities are available at the venue throughout the event. A non-secure bag drop is provided. Headphones are allowed. Parking is available at Bridge Street Car Park, Staines TW18 4TP.
