Midweek Medal Madness Run
The Midweek Medal Madness Run is a time-based running event held in Staines. The event focuses on providing a flexible and affordable environment for participants to reach personal distance goals or increase their total race count. It is an inclusive event open to runners of all abilities as well as walkers.
The format is a 7 hour time challenge where participants have control over the distance they cover. The course consists of a lap measuring 4.37 miles (7 km) along the River Thames, though this loop may be adjusted to 3.28 miles depending on ground conditions. Runners can complete as many or as few laps as they wish within the time limit. Specific turn points exist for shorter distances to accommodate younger participants.
Available distances include:
- 3 km
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half Marathon
- Marathon
- 50 km
- Ultra Marathon
The route is fully signed and primarily follows well-made paths and tarmac, with a very short grass section. Road shoes are suitable for the terrain. An aid table featuring sweet and savoury items, fruit, and vegan options is located at the start and finish of each lap. All finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a medal, and those reaching half marathon distance or further receive additional distance pins. Facilities include toilets at The Last Hop and parking at the Bridge Street Car Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
