Saturn Will Run For Ice Cream 2026
This is a seven hour time challenge held at The Last Hop, Thames Edge Court, Clarence Street, Staines, TW18 4SU. The event takes place on a signed out-and-back loop along a stretch of the River Thames on mainly well made paths and tarmac with a short grass section. Road shoes are suitable all year round.
Participants may choose their own distance. The minimum official finisher distance is 3 km. A full lap measures 7 km (4.37 miles) but may be changed to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions. The lap contains 3 km and 5 km turn points to support compliance with UK Athletics age rules. It is three laps for a half marathon, six laps for a marathon, and seven or more laps for an ultra; a 50 km option is available. Minimum age is 12 years. Anyone running more than 45 km must be at least 20 years old; 18 and 19 year olds may run up to 45 km.
All finishers who complete at least 3 km receive an ice cream themed medal and a goody bag; a vegan goody bag option is available. Distance pins are awarded for half marathon and longer distances and are attached to the medal ribbon. Aid and drinks tables are provided at the start and finish of each lap, with a selection of savoury, sweet, fruit, cheese and vegan items.
